RickLS7 Posted May 28, 2020 Report Share Posted May 28, 2020 Who’d have guessed? should have also included every Boxster/Cayman/911 in this statement. https://www.carscoops.com/2020/05/porsche-admits-the-cayman-gt4s-gearing-is-too-long/amp/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menoporsche Posted May 28, 2020 Report Share Posted May 28, 2020 ...but their answer is a PDK! Some people will be happy, others not so... Still wonder if it's worth cannibalising a 2.5 for its box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickLS7 Posted May 28, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2020 You would think after so many years of being criticised, they could have done something about the ratios on the manual box. Not everyone wants the PDK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnSyn Posted May 28, 2020 Report Share Posted May 28, 2020 They've been testing them, and 4.0GTSs, with PDK at the Ring. So maybe sooner rather than later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still wouldn't swap my Boxster😃. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenman Posted June 20, 2020 Report Share Posted June 20, 2020 The gearbox we have, don’t get me wrong, it’s an old one, an existing one and changing the gear was just technically not possible as we were running out of space on the shafts, if we need an adjustment there,” he revealed. “We would have loved to have seen that, [the gearing] a little bit shorter, but technically there was no way. This sounds b*ll*cks to me!! Technically not possible my ar*e!! More like if would have cost to much to redesign all the gears. No one is asking for more gears (I.e space) just different ratios, would have required changing half the cogs in the box. Poor effort Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
