Dual-clutch transmission overheating occurs due to constant gear shifting combined with low vehicle speed, which leads to excessive heat buildup in the clutch plates. The dual-clutch transmission (DCT) is a common type of automatic transmission that structurally resembles a manual transmission, but with an additional clutch set and gearshift control mechanism. The primary function of DCT is to ensure smooth vehicle starting, reduce impact loads on transmission gears during shifting, and prevent drivetrain overload. In conventional vehicles, gear changes are achieved through clutch disengagement and engagement, which temporarily interrupts power transmission during the transition.

Can a motorcycle license still be used if it hasn't been reviewed for 15 years?

However, there is a prerequisite: the license holder must not have accumulated 12 penalty points in the previous scoring cycle to qualify for this process. If the license expires, it can be renewed within one year. If it remains unrenewed for more than one year, it will be revoked.
