Right. In other words, the DCT will not upshift for you in manual mode when you hit the limiter. And the 6MT won't either because impossible.

The one exception is if you use Launch Control (a DCT-only feature, obviously). In that case it automatically runs through gears for you as long as you keep the pedal buried. No shifting required.
