For all those 981/991 folks that have been asking "can you speed up the shifts in the PDK," the long wait is over! Yesterday Cobb released their PDK control unit flash upgrade for all 991/981 customers that want that snappy, PDK-S type shifting in their 911s, Boxsters or Caymans. We were lucky enough to be able to beta test some of this stuff last week and see first hand the improvements that it delivers. One of my customers is on Planet-9 and he's running the software and hopefully he will chime in. We have built a few large displacement, 430 - 475 hp engines for customers running PDK 981s and this software was necessary for me to have the cars behaving in a manner i think they should. This is the first ever flash i know of for the PDK control unit; it can bring a non Sports Plus car up to Sports Plus spec, you can have Launch Control and they have provided several different shift maps. You don't have to drive the car in manual mode anymore to be able to realize any raised RPM limits & gone is the hesitation you feel when rolling from a dead stop to pull out from an intersection!

The 997/987 upgrades will follow but for now, this is for the 991/981 owners.

If anyone is interested, please call the shop and ask for either Wray or myself!


Thank you.

John

I got to working on this and got it sorted out.

This is the GT3 style of shift lever. We will release this in maps hopefully this week so for those of you that want this please let us know and we can send you calibrations with it enabled.

This is what we are calling-- COBB PDK Inverted Shift Lever

Nice one guys. Great work. Is it possible, if I have an Accessport already, to buy just the direction change? I rarely use auto mode and am happy with the shift points as they are when I do.

Also (just, like, while I'm here), is there a way to permanently and forever disable coasting while leaving auto start/stop intact?

Thanks!

Looking forward to the 987.2 PDK software upgrade.

I'd also possibly be interested in the ability to just buy a direction change if its available. I also dont have any real issues with the shift points.

i am in if only to get rid of the brake on/off hesitation from a stop

Paddle neutral feature like the GT3's?

Yogi911

Oooh. Good idea.

jsykes

Doesnt it already do this? I know if I pull both paddles on my '14 Cayman S it goes into neutral.

Todd B

Yes, it does, but it pull and release to get neutral.

On the GT3 you pull both paddles and hold, as long as you hold you will be in neutral. When you release the clutch gets dumped again.

not on an 09 pdk

Ahh, gotcha.
