I have a 2015 C2 Cab and the shifter works as good as it did in my 997 C2S cab. No problem what's so ever

I have a 2012 C2S 991 7spd MT-I have never had a problem with it. Only complaint is wish it was a 6spd. The extra gear can add for some confusion when switching between the gears.

I hope I get a chance to drive the GTS MT and compare.

Totally agree

Took me a while to get used to it as well but now it's second nature. I assume it's much easier to learn to drive than if I tried to learn how to drive an automatic.

Has PAG provided any information yet as to what they actually did to the 7MT to improve it? If so, if someone would post the link(s) or copy/paste, I'd appreciate it.

To OP: Congrats on your car and glad you are enjoying the stick.

not that I have seen so far...

FORENN

Thanks. Does this seem odd to you? My guess is they are waiting until the 2016 991 is introduced. Also curious to see if the 2016 991 will have MT as standard. At some point, I imagine PDK will be standard and MT will be eliminated or offered as an option (and possibly a cost option!).

Not really Porsche seldom "publishes" such information, except the odd technical bulletin or article (like the one for the powerkit) ...

Good question about the next gen and MT, I'm sure that since they invested in upgrading/revising the box, they will offer it in the next gen cars ... only time will tell though.

Maybe someone should ask Sunset or Suncoast Porsche to compare the parts list, diagram and part numbers of a non-GTS Carrera to the real deal? Different part numbers for the shifter or linkage??

Any chance they'd roll it out on the yet to be made 991.1's. That's the main reason I'd want a GTS over a plain S. But I bet Porsche knows that and wouldn't do it.

I actually heard that the GTS has the upgraded shifter. Not sure if the rest of the 2015 991 line up has it as well. I would imagine so though.

Good idea on calling Suncoast and asking about the part number change.

I've read & heard (on videos / podcasts) the UK reviewers like Chris Harris complain about the 991 manual being based off a PDK unit / casing. All I could find off hand is Chris Harris mentioning something here about it: https://grrc.goodwood.com/road/drive...1-chris-harris

Apparently in the GTS, the 7 speed manual has its own unique design, so its supposed to feel much better.

Has anyone driven a 991 Carrera S/4S MT back to back with a 991 GTS/4GTS MT? My dealer cannot confirm any difference in the transmission compared to my 2013 C4S.

I think its still the shared PDK/7MT unit, just with a revised linkage... I do not think its a new transmission.
