Good afternoon... I do appreciate everyone's help. I have read the repair thread and have exhausted all those options for different reasons.. Please respect the course of action I have chosen and restrict future responses to the sourcing of a replacement PDK Transmission part number 9G1-300-031-DX

Thanks

Please be aware, that if you replacing with used PDK, from a crashed car - you are potentially inherit even greater risk of same sensor failure. It did happen before. Even if replacing with brand new PDK - which uses original sensor... You still inherit the same risk, as original sensors are inferior to second gen modern sensors we make. Although you will have some limited warranty with new PDK, I guess.

Only if you consult with a Porsche dealer or a shop that is not familiar with those very specific matters. There are 5 or 7 shops just on East Coast that are doing PDK repairs. It looks like the shop you visited isn't one of them unfortunately. We can ref our partner shops in MA, VA, GA, FL....
Who is in GA, need to keep this info if ever needed please, (knock on wood).

It's not a matter of not respecting your course of action, but RL is a great resource for troubleshooting and old threads often serve as an indexed trouble-shooting log. If you've exhausted the options for differing reasons but still want the RL collective to help, it would be courteous to document said reasons for other people who may find themselves in your circumstances.It could be as simple as your warranty not covering anything outside of a replacement rendering those other efforts futile.

I imagine this will likely help rally people around your cause as we know it's not a matter of being stubborn.

Atlanta Speedwerks does the most sensor installs in GA.

just as a data point we can refer back to later, would you be willing to share the total or itemized cost of this replacement?
