New GT3 PDK Reverses Shift Pattern!

they do not install an intercooler on that GT3 pdk so I really wonder how it will behave in real life conditions.
and it is still not clear to me how one is supposed to service this pdk gearbox when time will come to open it up. it was a lot of time since it was introduced but I do not think anybody ever heard a word from a factory on this matter. on a usual racer oriented RS car people redo/refresh gearbox every other season, I really do not believe this PDK is so immortal so it never needs to be serviced if driven hard.

I know you don't really mean an "intercooler", but I'm curious how you know what kind of cooling is provided for the gearbox on the new GT3. Have you seen a spec somewhere? The standard PDK box has an auxilliary oil cooler to cool fluid for the wet clutches and hydrualic system (gear oil is cooled adequately by the transmission housing) so I'd expect the PDK-S box on the GT3 to at least have that, if not upgraded components.

Circa 2000'ish, or the tiptronic era, I think that's the way Jacques Villneueve set up his F1 cars vs. the typical 'upchange' on one side of the steering wheel, 'downchange' on the other.
Instead he pushed forward for a downshift and pulled up for an upshift, both from the same side of the steering wheel. He was the only driver that did it this way. And interestingly enough it was his father that rejected shift buttons on the spokes of the T3 steering wheel, because it took his thumb pressure off the wheel. To which Ferrari responded by supplying him with....paddles.

In my opinion this is the correct way. As you are accelerating and being pushed back in your seat you are pulling back on the shifter. As you are braking and being pushed forward you push forward on the shifter- very natural.

i think is quite simply reverse an electrical command. Usually you need to invert two cable. some times ago i saw an enthusiast that mounted two "pallette" rear the orignal pdk command reverting only one so to have opposite effect pulling one or pulling the other
