I wouldn't expect routine fluid maintenance to fix what is considered normal behaviour. If it does change the behaviour, you probably have other problems with the car that need to be addressed.

Just to clarify, you had the service you mentioned and then this rough downshift started to happen? Or what is happening before also?

Please note that this thread is from 2018 and the user you are quoting hasn't logged in to Rennlist since February of 2019. Also, the answer to your question is "no" the way I'm reading his post.

I am still here and still have my 991.1. 3 years and about 10,000 miles after my initial "downshift clunk" post, my car is doing great, the gear shifts are smooth both up and down. In fact, downshifts actually seem to be better than when I first purchased it, they do not bother me like before and I almost forgot about my post untill I saw it today. I did not do anything to service the PDK, all I did was regular maintenances on the car and weekly driving.
