wtf, i have heard of a semi auto where you HAVE to shift but there is no clutch. but how on earth can that be done(fully auto-fully manual)?? I love a semi auto like i just described, thatd be amazing.

Fully manual meaning the tranny goes to and stays in whatever gear the shifter is in until you manually shift it to the next gear. It's easy. You merely cut the 12V power wire going to pin C15 of the TCU connector and put a toggle switch inline. Flip the switch power is turned off to the TCU and you are in full manual mode. There are many write ups about this online. I use it to keep my tranny in 1st gear when I'm ready to crawl through something very slowly. Otherwise it keeps hunting between 1st and 2nd when you have 1-2 selected.
