Next week’s project. Thanks Jeff. 🇨🇦

I need 4 seats though.

I have a 991 PDK and have a deep appreciation for the engineering and testing that went into the development of this DCT. Jeff, thanks for explaining it so well and thoroughly.

So for the 4WD, you only use the driveshaft hole to pull the cover back on? Edit: you just said the answer in the video!

I'm currently binge watching your videos. I don't own a Porsche but have been obsessing about owning one for a while, especially as have been driving a 911 GT3 RS around the Nürburgring in Gran Tourismo 7 in VR on Playstation 5 a load and this virtual obsession has spilled over to real reality! I'd like to think I can lay my hands on a 718 Boxster in the next half decade. I'm pretty handy and would love to be able to fix and service a car myself. But that would require a house with a garage, and currently I don't have that. So I'd need a bigger house and a Boxster, so that gets expensive. I'll keep watching your videos though. Nicely done 👍🏼

One failure with PDK. One Porsche salvage yard to;d me get a manual transmission cuz Porsche doesn’t sell repair parts for PDK. The be that is a giant fail no matter the technology. I would boycott on principle alone

Hi Jeff! Where are you located? My 911 has this problem and I am not near anyone other than the dealer to have this confirmed or repaired. Thank you for your helpful videos.

Agree with Cayman but 911 is a nightmare. Just to change the spark plugs you need to: jack up rear, remove wheels, remove wheel arches, partially or fully remove exhaust (depending on M/Y), remove heat shields, and you better have lots of extensions, wobbles, etc., because it's all so cramped together. Cayman plugs are easier, no need to remove exhaust . . . But, US Domestics, and Japanese vehicles, Uh, well, you just pop the hood and get to removing or installing the plugs . . . . (lol)!

It really is nuts how the big box companies charge over $100 for what in theory is just a large plastic agitator in the shape of a bucket.

My glovebox light has stopped working - which points to the microswitch having failed. And since I plan to replace it myself, this has really helped - thank you!

Stick with the stick. Dump the Doppelkupplungsgetriebe

As a Boxster owner for 10 years You obviously haven’t tried to change the Oil air separator, or replacement of the coolant tank another nightmare, not to add some suspension bolts have 16mm head and17mm nut not difficult just frustrating.

These solenoids all the same connectors? Valve body under rear quater do they use the same ones also? Thinking of replacing all 4

the engineers that design and assemble this gear assembly are brilliant!

Thanks, exactly the info I was looking for.

Great video for exactly what the intro aimed at. Impressive

Might be the best video on KZbin! I feel like I just received an entire degree in mechanical engineering

i really appriciate your effort and i have question. does this sensor provide same performace just like genuine porsche pdk sensor?? and there will be any problem in securing supplies in the future???

Hi Jeff, having a few issues with my 991.1 S PDK. It’s had the 12 year service done with both fluids changed. Mileage is 99k I get an intermittent grinding/crunch when downshifting when engine is cold. Slight judder when moving off in 1st gear Car can be very jerky when in P and selecting D and driving off - almost like the gearbox is confused It’s under warranty, any ideas?

oh my god!!! you are the hero

Hi Jeff, I really appreciate your videos. I’m planning to clean my intake valves soon and was curious about the wooden guides you made. Would it be possible for you to take a top-down picture of each one next to a ruler? I’m considering 3D printing some. Also what grit walnut shell would you recommend using?

This is great news! I may reluctantly need to change to a Cayman with a PDK and this would bring a lot less worry.

Hi. Could you tell me what the shafts RPM are in neutral?

Not sure if you’ll ever see this but is the gt4 also the same as a 991 ? I’m looking to replace a front tub of a gt4 and I can only find a front tub of a 991

Bloody gold. Thank you for demystifying this.

Fantastic video mate, thorough and concise. Footage was perfect. I’m about to drop my valve body for the first time to replace input/output sensors causing limp mode. Cars 260,000kms and 24 years old, what do you suggest replacing while I am in that deep? Thanks in advance and love from Aus

A happy customer from Cyprus 981cayman 2.7 Thanks Jeff

Do you happen to know where you can buy the Porsche tool to remove that circle retainer clip?

Thanks

Thanks for posting another great/informative video!

Jeff how do I also add the automatic rain sensor settings in manual or automatic on the instrument console within the Settings menu?

991.1 owner here and the PDK failing keeps me up at night, man. I've messaged you in the past and want to say again how thankful I am for your work on this endeavor. This video gives me so much more confidence knowing there isn't a $20k bomb in my car just waiting to rear its ugly head. I hope I never need this sensor but knowing it exists is a huge peace of mind.

Yes I totally agree...i have a gen 1 Cayman 2008 .maintance so easy with basic knowlage

ANOTHER great video!

Just love it❤

Legends!

Excellent work!! How different are the sensors in a 970 GTS PDK?

Fantastic video

Damn... You and your cohorts really did it... Excellent work guys... Heroes, all of you...

great work!

Well done Jeff - you are a legend! I hope my 981 Cayman PDK does not fail, but if it does - you will be my first port of call.

You are a hero

Just ordered the jumps sensor, excited to get this problem resolved myself instead of $20k 😊 thank you for everything you do!!

Not a PDK guy yet, but good to know, there are less costly options to fix the PDK issues that are surfacing with age.

So embarrassing to Porsche that a bunch of Aussie enthusiasts had to step in to fix this straight up German engineering fail

Oh wow, an Australian innovation. I hope there’s more to come

Always a comfort when you get the problem, the code and there is a reliable fix. Especially to a PDK transmission. Thanks for all your hard work on this project Jeff. 👍🏻🇨🇦

Awesome ✌️ thank you. Hopefully my PDK never needs it, but at least its comforting know theres a better more affordable fix now. Again thank you for your videos.

Other then the pdk not shifting into gear, are there other symptoms that can be resolved with changing the distance sensor? For example, if the transmission has a erratic or jerky/hesitating shift? Also, any plans for a panamera/macan support?

Made in?
