Short shift performance..
Got my TT about a month back, but with all the holidays I haven't had much time to drive it. Clearly it ROCKS and I'm loving every minute in it.
One thing about the SSK (factory installed): Going from 1st to 2nd is rarely a smooth operation for me. I always take longer getting into 2nd (from a lower or higher gear) than shifting into any other gear. Is this normal? Of course, I can't fault shifting through the other gears, smooth as butter once fully warmed up.. Does the regular 6-speed box also have this issue with 2nd gear? I've done about 1000kms so far and no other issues.. |
That's normal...when it's cold, 1st and 2nd tends to be a bit notchy but eases up when warm. I find that it becomes less of a chore as the miles add on.

ok thanks guys
I'll just keep at it and hope for an improvement over the coming months. It's not really a big issue, but there's a track event coming up in March close to where I live, so it would be nice to have a smoother 2nd gear especially for autocross and drag strip runs.. |
I am not having any issues with my factory installed short shifter. I am really happy with it compared to other short shifters I have had on various cars.
|
I get the similar experience when the car is still cold, but I have the after market ssk. Love it and feels more connected to the car, then again dosent porsche use B&M as a factory ssk as well?
|
I think the part number is the same.
|
i am going to have the short throw installed at the dealer, after delivery; any thoughts, advice or differences between the factory installation and dealer installation?
thanks Jim |
Why not have it added to your order and let the factoy do it, the ssk is now available again for the TT. I already added it to my order, in a nick of time.

Think it just takes awhile to loosen up a bit

I've done about 1000kms so far and no other issues.. Also I have noticed to avoid the lag, you have to be at a relatively high rpm. At the lower rpm, just can't get that turbo boost. But if in a lower gear, wow, no turbo lag, so lately thru traffic I spend a lot of time in 3rd with speeds under 45m/h. The turbos come in instanteously. Getting use to getting max enjoyment out of these tts is just taking more time and focus.:) :cool: . Incidentally with your help, got my V1 hooked up thru the fuse and for the remote have found the perfect spot on the face of the tach. Doesn't interfer there, just covers the center nonfunctional portion. |
And just a reminder, we STILL have it on special at $199 (B&M unit) anytime you are ready for it.
:) |
I actually bought one from Eric at Bumperplugs and love it. One of the best mods I've done and it's relatively easy to install. I would recommend it highly and at $199 its a bargin.

My 07 997S does not have the S/S and the first to second shift is quite a bit notchy 40% of the time; I hope it loosens up over time.
