Anyone with one of these cars ever experience the pdk tranny to be a little rough in gear changes when cold? I certainly don't overdrive my car when cold and I know oils need to warm up before I get on it.

The other day I was pulling forward slowly and it seemed to stay in 1st and rev up to around 4k prior to changing. I had to look down to make sure I didn't accidentally press sport or sport plus and I had not.

Sometimes, not often, it seems to clunk a little when cold. Never when warm. This is my second 997.2 TTS and my first did not do this. My car is a 2011.

Thanks,

Tom

 

Just about every dual clutch car I've owned, including my 11 pdk, has been a little rough shifting when cold usually warms up quick though. If they shifts are jarring I'd be a little concerned but if just a little more harsh until it warms up, normal in my experience

 

Ok good to hear. Thanks!

 

Yeah 997.2 is pretty rough as well when cold but I like it. My 991 is smooth as butter all the time....too much like an automatic trans.

 

there is an update for the PDK software.you will see obvious improvement.

 

what update and when was it released? How does one know they have it or not?

 

just hook it to the piwis 2 ,select pdk programming and it will flash the latest software.

 

Agreed - it really smoothed out my 2-1 downshift in sport mode when coming to a stoplight during normal driving. It helped everywhere, but that's where I noticed the largest improvement.

 

How long ago did you have it done? Haven't been to a Porsche dealer in years so I imagine I never had this campaign done

 

I had it done last summer by bodymotion. Very noticeable difference. Crisper and smoother.

 

Oh awesome, I'll have to have Ace hook me up in a couple weeks!
