Does anyone have any experience with one of these? I'm wondering if you still need to shift it given that it has gates for L, D and Ds (or D1?).

I'm not interested in buying it, just curious.

have never driven a Sportomatic 911 but would like to...
4 speed manual trans with torque converter and clutch...touch the shifter and the clutch disengages, release the shifter and clutch engages...torque converter to allow sitting/idling in gear...
ahead of its time but didn't make a ton of sense...

Glad you posted as I am curious how it works as well.

Could it be that this is just a manual shifter installed over the automatic one to make it look like a manual? The 928 guys do this a lot to make their autos look manual./

It's a Sportomatic alright. Only 2 pedal visible.
Not that you should anyway, but you definitely can't rest your hand on the gear shift.

Here's an article explaining it.

There was no fully automatic 911 until the 964.

What a beauty!

That car caught my eye and it wasn't until the 3rd time I looked through the photos, that I noticed the 3rd pedal was missing. It's a beautiful looking car.

Cool option but I wouldn't touch anything that Prime leasing sells with a 10ft poll.

Thanks. Guess I should have Googled it! ;-)

Does it matter? I never buy without a PPI. This does seem to invite difficult maintenance issues though...
