Okay, what's going on with the PDK...

I just had my 10K service done for a really reasonable $325. I can 't tell a bit of difference. I never drive in normal mode...I call it Buick mode. I think it is the best car on the planet, but I miss my 993tt terribly.

With the temps we're getting in Texas right now, I'm starting the car at an ambient 80F+, so cold is a relative term. It doesn't take long to get oil and coolant to temp. I got the car Jan 1st and it wasn't doing this in very cold (well, by Texas standards) winter temps.
Again, I'm not saying the verdict is the PDK flash, but it's the only real thing that's been changed on the car since I've had it.

Maybe a video would help, I dunno. I kinda mash my throttle and haven't had anything stand out to me. My issue lately would probably be a "cough" or "burp" I get when putting her in first, for the first time of the day (not after)..she lets out a little burp in the mornings and then its vrrroooom!

It has done that since I got it, several PDK flashes ago- so I don't think they have had any effect. Perhaps it is the PDK lube coming up to operating temp fast?
This is totally not noticeable in any of the auto settings.

Mine manually shifts a noticeable bit more slowly when the car is just started (no matter what the outside or engine temp), than it does after a running for a few minutes- e.g., by the second time I shift it. By then it "pops" shifts off like an imitation Cup car in Sport + and Sport and just fast in the "economy" setting.

Even when warm, it still shifts slower putzing around than when driving aggressively. But the warm slow is still faster than the cold slow. That is the annoying Buick mode!
Haven't had any updates since delivery last June. That will be corrected soon enough though.
It would be a sweet update if we could get the rack, PDCC, PASM, PDK all up to GT3 specs! Any hackers out there?

So does mine and every other 991, in auto or manual. That is to let the car warm up to operating temp before unleashing the hounds!

"Mr Smith, the onboard computer is not allowing an upshift due to the the GPS system detecting a Police vehicle in very close proximity."
or one with attitude.
"Dude, I'm feeling gnarly this morning, lets do some GT3 shifts!"

This is what I'm praying for. I'd be happy with just getting the steering updates. I'm perfectly fine with the behavior of the PDK in Sport + mode. Full stiff mode in SPASM is fine for me.

The issue I'm seeing is a hesitation or stumble when rolling off slow, usually in 2nd gear, in Normal mode in full auto under light or partial throttle applications. It almost feels like the clutch is disengaging for a second then reengaging, like it's going to downshift to first but then re-engages and continues in 2nd.
My workaround has just been putting it in Sport.

Auto mode in Normal is the issue. Everything seems fine in Sport and Sport+. Typical "slam it home" behavior in manual mode in either setting.

I do feel the lack of torque at those low revs/speeds, feels relatively gutless, but no hesitation.
Mine is a May 14/12 build, 991S with S Chrono, S-PASM, PDK, 10k km. No updates.
