Default pdk 1st-->2nd lag fix?

others with a .2tts pdk have same experience? in manual mode using the paddles, the shift into 2nd is very noticeabley slow. the needle passes maybe close to 1k before actually shifting. and this is in sport!
every upshift thereafter is instantaneous, along with that pleasing smooth bump sound in the transmission and exhaust.

can anything be done about that 1st-->2nd slog?

Supposedly a TCU tune can improve, not a Cobb style tune but rather one where the TCU itself is removed and re-flashed. But there are only a couple places in Europe that do this.

I found under full throttle acceleration that if I don’t hit the paddle by 5K in the first gear, it will be on the limiter before the shift occurs. This is in sport plus. The console shifter does seem to be quite a bit quicker.

My biggest annoyance with this car is the PDK performance vs a 991. Would love to hear of a fix.

I went with a Cobb PDK Remap and i must say its very very close now to a 991 !

Before it was horrible .

My dad drove my car and i said nothing he only said what have you done to the transmission its a lot better now . 100 %independent opinion

After the Flash you must do a PDK Relearn this change a lot !!!

Also, more info on the PDK tune itself. I may need to break down and get it...

Or buy my Cobb AP with PDK files and enjoy even quicker. 😉

look up my post on how much better the shifting was when I had my 997.2T with PDK files from Cobb. I was on the “aggressive” map and it was glorious.

Heh, I thought a "still married" Accessport was unable to be used on a new vehicle?

also...the reviews of those who tried the flash on .2TTS have experiences issues.
for TT models, generally ok...but not for S.

i got it unmarried via Cobb. Had to pay a fee to Cobb but it’s clear and ready for a new beast.
