I like to use the center shifter rather than the paddles. Is PDK gated the same eg push forward to downshift and pull back to upshift?

Its only gated that way in the GT3 and GT3RS, in all other pdk equipped 911's its forward to go up and back to downshift.

Porsche changed that in the 991.2 Carrera models, forward is downshift, back to shift up a gear. Glad they made the change as it makes more sense!

Ohh. that's going to mess me up at the PEC. I better practice more with the paddles.

Well it's nice to know they finally recognized this and changed it.

Yes, It's the one thing Porsche just happened to do backwards along with engagement of the parking brake.

Thanks for the post and like many of you it led to reflection.
Having tried PDK before ordering my .1 GTS my clear preference was for MT;
However it did not occur to me that after 50 years there would need to be a PDK learning curve!
At first Sports Plus rev matching was fun but after a year double clutching is more preferable unless in the mountains.

This is incorrect - in the 991.2 it uses race logic e.g. forward to go down and back to go up I actually use the stick in my .2S but don't use the stick in my 9981GTS.

OK been addressed by others
