Looks as though it makes sense. A lot of rowing, but then again, the ratios would be reasonably close, and the 'just right' gear should always be at hand. Sometimes when overtaking another car at around 60 mph, I wish I had a gear in between 2nd and 3rd. Managed to bump the rev limiter the other day, which tends to slow down acceleration a bit...

one of my complaints about my MY2000 986 was that 2nd gear was too high. coming out of a tight turn on a winding alpine road was often too fast for 1st and too slow for 2nd. wonder what this would be like. in any case, i would get a PDK without any hesitation. have you driven one yet guenter?
Wonder if it's cost savings since the PDK is 7 speed? Could there be lots of cross over parts? *NM* db997S - Thursday, 7 July, 2011, at 8:43:33 am |
Probably not. With PDK alot of the tranny parts do not survive 'abuse' from ham-fisted humans... MarcW - Thursday, 7 July, 2011, at 2:11:04 pm |
I can live with that pattern. All the important driving gears are in the (double) H. Laz - Thursday, 7 July, 2011, at 4:20:16 pm |

If that's true, phooey! My expectations are dashed. Oops, see below: *NM* Laz - Thursday, 7 July, 2011, at 9:13:42 pm |

I wanted to see if the text clarified whether the photo was conjecture or not. This part of the translation confuses me, though: "As the world's first production car, the sports car..." I take it to mean the first production car to have a 7-speed manual transmission.
