DIY: PDK Transmission Reset Procedure

Did mine early today following the detailed procedures and after doing a lot of driving all over town today I must say the shifts are much smoother and seem to shift when I would expect or want them to shirt in both O and S+. Before how I was pushing the pedal seemed to often result in the car upshifting sooner than I hoped or expected and the only solution was to get on the pedal more to keep the RPM’s up so not to shirt to early. Now, the car seem to be shifting more in line with what I would expect.
Not sure if that is a good explaination or not, but I can tell you i is much better than before and has made the drive immediately more enjoyable. Pretty pumped actually and would not hesitate to take the 10 minutes it took to do the procedure again.

Thanks for this, transformed my car completely, it got rid of every little low speed thing it used to do! it drives completely smoothly, and took away all the odd noises and jerky stuff.

hey i will try this today and report back for a 2010 panamera s with the same jerkyness when slowing down or when moving from a stop....do we use the first method or the extended method? the extended method is 3 minutes longer as u also have to put it in drive and press the accelerator at 1.5 minutes....
also when it says 3 minutes with A/C on are we just pressing the A/C button or are we pressing the AUTO button for the fans to turn on?
thanks

Did the reset on my 2011 Panamera Base with Sport Chrono Plus and PASM and I could tell a difference in "comfort' mode. Now seems more responsive and smoother. Ironically and coincidentally my driver door lock also started working with the fob and that hasn't worked for several months. I'll take what I can get... placebo effect or not.

Did the reset on my new-to-me 2010 4s today. Car currently has 31k miles (800 are mine). Certainly smoother than before. Drove the car very hard today, with a grin wide as can be!

So is recalibrating when it measures and accounts for the change in thickness of the clutch from wear?
And I also would like to know if 'turning the a/c on/off' means the A/C compressor via the A/C button or the whole HVAC system via the fan control. Seems like A/C is often used interchangeably with environmental control system or HVAC.

Did the extended version on mine today and it's a totally different car. Everything that made my turbo a slug shifting compared to the GTS was vastly improved. I thought this was "normal" and it was most definitely not.

Wish I knew about this years ago. Picked up a 987.2 today that was doing some weird clutch slip behavior from a start. The previous owner had a lead foot, hardly any finesse on takeoff so the TCU was acclimated to that style of driving. Going to be doing this on my 718 GTS tomorrow. What a difference.

Look at paragraph 3.6. on page 14. Look familiar?
