The dual-clutch transmission DQ200 of the Volkswagen Group was the subject of recall actions in several countries due to technical problems. [55] In 2009, 13,500 vehicles with DQ200 were recalled in the USA due to issues and sent to workshops.
Honda introduced the Rincon as their new top-of-the-line ATV using their largest ATV liquid-cooled four-stroke engine. The Rincon was the first ATV to feature an automotive-style automatic 3 speed transmission which shifts either automatically or can be switched to manual mode (called the Electronic Shift Program).

The Honda Electric Shift Program is used in ATVs such as the 1998 Honda TRX450FE (also called the Foreman 450ES ESP) and first-generation Honda Rincon. Shifting is accomplished by pressing one of the two gear selector arrows on the left handlebar, which activates an electric shifting system.

A shift kit is also intended to reduce the shift time of a manual vehicle. With a manual transmission, upshift time can be reduced by installing a lighter flywheel. During an upshift, the engine speed must decrease to synchronize with a higher gear; a lighter flywheel will allow the engine speed to drop more quickly, leading to shorter shift times.
A direct-shift gearbox (DSG, German: Direktschaltgetriebe [1]) [2] [3] is an electronically controlled, dual-clutch, [2] multiple-shaft, automatic gearbox, in either a transaxle or traditional transmission layout (depending on engine/drive configuration), with automated clutch operation, and with fully-automatic [2] or semi-manual gear selection.
Float shifting can reduce clutch wear because it is used so much less (only for starting from a standstill). Conversely, improper engagement of a gear (when the engine and transmission speeds aren't matched) can cause wear on the synchros and lockouts, and damage the gears by physically grinding them together due to a difference in speed.
