Default Help: PDK Right Paddle Making noise when shifting

Yesterday i noticed this sound while driving so i took a video when i got home (video is attached). It has nothing to do with the carbon fiber extensions on the paddles because the left paddle just feels like the shift is much smoother.

I think it is a spring, do i need to get this fixed? I don't mind the click if it is fine to keep as is but if it can lead to bigger damages down the line (for example it just won't up shift anymore) then i would like to fix it.

Feedback is appreciated and thank you for your time!

Little difficult listening to it on the video. Won't hurt to bring it in. Keep us posted on what they say.

there is an extra click on the right paddle compared to the left, i am worried to take my car in because here any signs of modification will lead to a warranty void issue

i am terrified that if i take it in they will notice my headers and put some note in the system to void my warranty

i guess i can use the shifter until i grow the ***** to take it into Porsche

actually i just noticed i have the service manager on what'sapp, i will send him the video via what'sapp and see what he says

you could be right but i doubt he is on RL, he just replied and said "its ok to drive. Bring it in when you have time and we will see why it is doing that"

I'd just take it in. I'm not entirely sure what you're saving your warranty status for; if there ever is any other issue you need warranty for, your concern would be the same, and you'd never actually utilize the warranty. Modifying puts the warranty on the line, nature of the beast.

You could buy an RS wheel, or I'll sell you my stock one lol.

Car being under warranty helps sell it if i do sell one day. I am going to take it in soon.

You got a new wheel under warranty or you went and bought one?

Yup. There's a thread on here created by someone that did the swap. Suncoast sells the wheel:

Dealer is giving me a new wheel under warranty but advised me not to put the extensions back on. I doubt it is due to them i think it is just a coincidence.

MA Carbon was nice enough to agree to refund me in full once i ship it back to them. I will miss the extensions but to be honest they felt like the devil on my shoulder always wanting me to go faster to use the paddle shifter lol it just gave more of a race feeling / look with them, dunno how to explain it

Also paddles felt heavier so it made it feel more engaging i guess
