Thanks
Glad to know I'm not alone. Car has 800 miles so hopefully I will get smoother. Only distraction is my Fiesta ST which has the lightest and most reassuring MT I've ever driven. Tough to bounce back and forth.
I'll keep working at it. Thanks for the input.

Maybe the stalling is related to the smaller displacement engine in the 991.2, and the turbocharging, causing lower torque just off of idle. Many years ago, I had a Nissan 300 ZX Twin Turbo and I had to be really careful not to stall it.
I have a friend with a C7 Corvette with manual transmission and you can literally just let the clutch out without giving it gas and that thing will just roll off because of the tremendous torque.

I did have some trouble with my 991.1 and subsequently my BMW 340i which I stalled several times before I just got rid of the annoying thing. Reading the comments above, if true, how the engine management system "helps" us drive just ticks me off all the more, and helps explain why these newer cars are actually more difficult to drive for us old folks who expect to do all of the driving ourselves.

If anyone is familiar with software that knows how these electronic nonsense nannies can be turned off, please chime in. Dealer workshop aquaintances are not helpful since their identity tags are recorded when the electronics are altered and would expose them to liabilities beyond joblessness.

No problem on 991.2, although just got my Targa today 😊
On another note, do I have to put the electronic handbrake on every time I turn off the car? It would make more sense to go on automatically when you turn off the ignition.

Unfortunately, BMW has now (apparently) integrated their clutch delay valve (CDV) into the slave cylinder, so there's no way to defeat that stupidity any more.
Our cars are being designed and built for the 80% of buyers who don't know how to drive properly (hill holder, rev-matching, CDV, etc.) which kills the joy for the 20% who presumably know what we're doing. And every day, the number of manual transmission cars gets smaller and smaller. Audi will have them totally phased out soon. We'll be left with Mustangs and VWs.

I can code out the rev-matching "feature" on the BMW, but don't know of any way to do it on the Porsche.

Coming to work today, I turned PSM off on my non SC base 911. It actually made a difference in the smoothness of the shifts. Feels almost like my old GT3 and 987 Cayman 'S'. Thanks for the tip. On the track the PSM is always off, but I never felt the difference until I drove the car at normal 'aggression.'
