Anyone have an option where there’s an additional button below the ‘Manual’ button of their PDK selector?

That is the most complicated "switch" I've seen: Rube Goldberg would give it a big thumbs up.

German engineering holds that if 7 parts will do the job, then at least 3 or 4 times that many will be necessary.

What we really need would be a Big Daddy Roth style replacement Rat Fink Shift ****.

Porsche should have just gone to all push buttons rather than partial, a shifter this small serves no purpose.

I think that the buttons are inevitable, but the shifter does work logically and doesn’t have the same risk as someone hitting the wrong button.

The more things change the more they remain the same.
Anyone remember the Chrysler, Dodge, Plymouth and Ford Edsel's with the Push Button Automatic Transmissions from the late 50's and early '60's?
