By the way, shifting into first gear is always a little tricky, it took me a while to get used to myself when I first got my car, if you have issues trying to get into first gear release the clutch and press it again and it should go in quite easily, also first gear should only be used when pulling from a dead stop, never down shift into first, you will not be able to get the gear, also shifting into second sometimes it's not as smooth as the rest of the gears, this is quite normal in 997 manual transmissions, if you browse through the forum you will see this is a very talked about subject with manuals.

I was looking at the option codes and noticed 030 Sport Pasm -20mm at no charge $0.00
Is there a big difference between regular PASM? If it's an upgraded option, why is there no charge?

Maybe the guy negotiated for them to throw it in for free, as part of the deal? It's probably just the way they work it in, a lot of mine showed $0.00 for the upgrade charge on the admin sheet, also.
