Do we need to open the PDK gearbox and swamp the clucth with big $$$$ amounts of headackes????

On a 6 speed you just need to drop the transmission/motor and swamp the disc, with reasonable labour and parts work, with a PDK it must be a HUGE bill to get a new clutch, or I am wrong

 

Ask your dealer - you'll probably get the same "gloss" job that you get when you ask "what if I get a flat tire?"

Kind of a "who knows" question though since no one with PDK has likely had to pay anything for any repairs yet.

 

I would imagine that maintenance was projected into PDK's design . Plus with efficient shifting a clutch won't wear as fast.

 

The PDK clutches are engineered to last the life of the car - a std 200k miles. Stuff happens though and I imagine that if the tranny is constantly pushed and LC is used more than a few times, yes, wear will occur. I have no interest in using LC at all - not even once - that's not what these cars are all about. I suspect though that a lot of PDK cars will be seriously abused, especially by short time owners who flip them.

 

Not even once ?

I will use it with a smile on my face Thatīs what this cars are for, fun fun fun. Iīm asking this question regarding the clutch, because I intend to use this car on a extreme way, with lots of drifts, slides and so on. For me this car is a pure toy, nothing more than that. Back in 1998, I bought a 2.5L Boxster, and drop the 3.4L Carrera engine on it with some good engine mods. That car didnīt had traction control, and the 5 speed gearbox was good for only 270Kph top speed, so you can imagine how short the ratios were. I could drift that car in straight line, really amazing and funny little toy. In the wet I wont even tell you . Thatīs what cars is all about , fun fun and more fun.
