If you look carefully behind the steering wheel you'll find two paddles. Just caress them. You'll be good. No thinking required.

I just did a search on the largest carsite in Germany. There are 1140 991's for sale, when I clicked the "show MT only" button, only 69 were left.
Did a search for the 991 50th ann Jubi, found 23 for sale, of which one with MT.

I think it's a different type of manual, in a different type of car, being discussed here. The chances of somebody on the 991 board being able to help you with cam timing questions about a '74 2.7 range from zero to negative 7 degrees BTDC.

Try the Rennlist air-cooled board. Good luck.

Looked and looked and finally found a 2012 C2S manual cab with 11400 miles!
Loving it. Love that most young kids will never know how to drive and experience a manual!

Default 991 Manual
I looked for more than a couple of months at the 3 local dealers for a low optioned manual coupe... Then gave up and ordered the way I wanted. At least 90% of dealer inventory were pdk

Doubt that's a true statement. Some, not all of you with PDK have had MT and graduated to faster cars. There's a new contingent of Porsche PDK drivers who never had MT and couldn't drive one if their life depended on it. But yes, it's admittedly faster.

only 7% of 991's are MT ?????? Really?? Any documentation of that?

I woulda thought it was closer to 50/50 (at least 30 MT/70 PDK).

If it has 911 on that beautiful fanny, it can only have a manual transmission. A sweet shifting manual is like great sex, it's slower & more involving. Faster is not always better.

The average age of a Porsche buyer in the US is around 50 years old, which means they started driving around 1980, which means most of them probably learned on a manual. Most PDK owners I've met were manual guys before the current gen of dual clutch autos came out.

This article has a Porsche engineer quoting 10%.
