People say it stays in gear if chosen just want to correct that's not the case. It's still in auto default mode. It's truly not manual mode. Mike
If it didn't drop into first it would stall. It only does this when you are at a stop. Otherwise it stays in the gear you choose. It will bounce off the rev limiter. It also does not creep in first or reverse, so you have to be prepared as it can roll.
I'm not sure what you are getting at. With a manual do you leave it in third at a stop? I don't.
^whatever you are thinking about y my clutch fails its probably true- lol. Anyway- PDK is not bullet proof it will wear over time question how do u know ie early symptoms? Mike

I haven't heard of any failures so who knows. It will probably give you a code, slippage, loud noises?... Since Porsche has done some extensive testing with consecutive launch control runs, I think it is pretty bomber. I can't remember the number of times, but it was far more than a normal clutch could take.
So if you pull the paddles to put it in neutral, and coast in neutral for a while, will the PDK simply select a reasonable gear when you let the paddles go?
Yes, in the auto modes for sure. In manual mode it will probably still be in the gear you were in when you pulled the paddles until you are slowing nearly to a stop when it would downshift. I haven't actually tried this in paddle neutral so I'm not 100% sure. You guys are going to have lots of fun trying out some of the less common scenarios when you get your cars!

Nick (doubleurx) is right; there are a number of fault codes that the transmission will throw in the dash display to warn of gearbox problems or failure. FWIW, the clutches in the PDK box are supposed to be lifetime items.
