So I have a 2009 4S. Last night I noticed when I shift from park to reverse, to neutral, to drive, and back again, each step has a serious clunk. I didn't notice any other issues with the transmission while driving but this makes me a bit nervous. I'll post a video later today if I can replicate the symptoms, but I was curious if anyone else out there has experienced this?

The car is CPO and had the PDK replaced in 2013 about 20k miles ago. I have a year left of CPO and want to make sure this is sorted out before warranty expires.

Get thee to a dealer while you still have a warranty. Now is the time to document with Porsche any issues with the car.

You are simply hearing the locking mechanism.

Shouldn't he be concerned to hear a new clunk noise from his transmission?
I understand if it was there from the beginning but it is not in this instance.
I would be concerned, I would take it to the dealership, (especially because he has already experienced one pdk failure already)

All transmissions do that to one extent or another.

curious why 1st pdk failed. if I was in this situation, at the very least I would bring it in and get paper documentation

How common is PDK failure? I have heard that it is a $17,000 repair.
