Can a dual-clutch transmission be driven in manual mode?

Dual-clutch transmissions can be operated in manual mode. Introduction to Dual-Clutch Transmission: A dual-clutch transmission (DCT) is a type of transmission mechanism. Unlike conventional automatic transmission systems, it combines the characteristics of both manual and automatic transmissions. In addition to offering the flexibility of a manual transmission and the comfort of an automatic transmission, it also provides uninterrupted power output. Working Principle of Dual-Clutch Transmission: The dual-clutch automatic transmission (DCT) is based on the structure of a manual transmission. However, unlike a manual transmission, the DCT features two clutches connected to two input shafts. Gear shifting and clutch operations are controlled by an integrated mechatronic module consisting of electronic and hydraulic components, eliminating the need for a clutch pedal.
