A device for encapsulating fine clutch dust is proposed which comprises caverns provided in the clutch housing for collecting fine dust by the rotation-related centrifugal force. This minimizes the lateral diffusion of the source and drain impurities and the formation of metal silicides into the dislocation region. The programmable resistance element includes one or more programmable resistance devices. In the event that the vehicle completes the rollover or impacts an object or structure, the shock absorbing elements cushion the forces applied to the roof and prevent reduction of the available space of the passenger cabin.
