Porsche 992 911 Manual transmission details

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Few sports cars can still be optioned with a Manual or Stick transmission however the Porsche 911 still can. In the video I take a look at the details.

    I’ve been driving manual transmission Porsches for 40+ years as my daily drivers and I’ll never switch to the PDK.......and, I’m now 75 years old! I just don’t want to lose the feeling of being a part of my car, knowing that I’m controlling it and not the other way around. P.S. I’m now driving a 991.2........Miami Blue w/Graphite Blue leather interior.

    After driving a manual for 6 years, I was shocked how much I enjoyed the PDK. The Sports steering wheel with the paddles + the PDK is shifting ecstasy. Pulling those paddles makes me giddy in the twisties. On the dragon, the paddles = most fun I've ever had driving. On the track, in the canyons, that's where the PDK offers plenty of driving involvement and frankly, makes you a better driver. This is one of the few subjects where I think newer is better. But it is true, when driving around town, the PDK is uneventful.

    I just want to give a specific example. You're on a straight at high speed headed into a turn, you can shift down from 4th to 2nd almost instantly with the paddles, take a really tight turn in 2nd at high rpm, and then on the exit, when you're near redline, instantly hit 3rd gear, and I mean instantly. So a straight, turn, straight goes 4th, 3rd, 2nd, 3rd, 4th - all instantly. It's so fun. The funnest part is the engine noise because listening to an engine shift that fast produces the most incredible engine noise. It makes you laugh!

    Nick, I always get excited when I get an email notification that you've dropped a video. Please keep doing what you're doing. I have only driven a Porsche once in my life and that was way back in 1987 when I was 24. It was a Guards Red 944 Turbo with a manual transmission. I will never forget what the salesperson said to me. I guess some people are nervous about driving a Porsche, so he said, "Keep one thing in mind. No matter what you do you can't hurt this car." I took him at his word and it was an amazing experience. The handling, the braking, both as legendary as I'd heard. The clutch was smooth, progressive, and light-not grabby at the friction point. The shifter was magical. It was the easiest to drive manual I've ever driven and actually fun. So much fun I got it up to 110 MPH (which felt like 35 MPH) on a local expressway-but that and the California Highway Patrol officer with a radar gun is another story. ;-)

    I admit I dated my cousin with a 991.1 and a Cayman GTS - and I loved it! But couldn't agree more. Went from a 991.2 C2S manual to a "T" manual. Was never that happy with the long throws on the "S". Though I lost 50 HP switching to the "T", like you've always said, that motor is probably more enjoyable. And the shorter, more crisp throws on the "T" manual have brought back the joy of driving a 911! This one is a keeper! Cheers.

The first 718 manual was ordered by mistake by the dealer as here is Australia most people opt for the PDK also. We were glad that there was one available. The second one is much better optioned with sport chrono and sports exhaust and is a truely wonderful car to drive. Great video.

    Many just buy it for status symbol nowadays. It always was an aspect of higher end sports cars and supercars, but once automatics became more widely and more non car people bought these manufacturers started to cater to th as thats where vast majority of money was. This is how manuals died in Ferraris and Lamborghinis. Or even more rare cars like Paganis and Koeniggsegs these also had manuals till end of 2000s. In span of 15 years from manual only and lesser sales they went to killing off manuals and catering to non-petrol head customers while ignoring car people for most part, with exception of Porsche.

    I bought a new 914/ 2.0 - 5 speed in 1974. Yes, I’m old... Fun car... The throw on that shifter is comparable to a catcher throwing a baseball to the right fielder. It was a workout. The transmission in the 992 looks delicious by comparison. Thanks as always for your wonderfully informative videos.

    Great review, thank you Nick. I think you might be the first ‘Tuber worldwide with a review of the 992 manual transmission! Even the The Getawayer did not have the pleasure of testing a manual 992, yet. And he’s in Germany, has good contacts @Porsche. Gee mate, what a lovely gearbox the new one is.. your enthusiasm is really contagious (bad word these days, I know). I would buy one without testing one, solely based on what you say and think. Over here in Europe, the manual is finally configurable as of this week. With a whole bunch of new options like new leather combinations and other stuff. Even the steering column in leather is back! Once again, thanks Nick and #StaySafe, especially in Connecticut! (and stay current on your PPL) Cheers, Irwin 🤟

    @@bavariancarenthusiast2722 I agree, it's interesting how things change! That being said, autos have just become that much better. Old 4-speed autos in the American cars of old used to be terrible. Modern PDKs or ZF autos, on the other hand, are not an inconvenience anymore. Quite to the contrary: faster, more comfortable, and even more economical than manuals. So I can totally see why more and more people, including Germans, go that route, at least in more expensive or powerful cars. But one thing's for sure: Let's hope that our beloved manuals continue existing, especially in sports cars, for many more years to come!

    There's no comparison between the 2. The 911 is twice the machine the C8 is, and it will hold its value much longer than the C8. And you'll have a manual turbo'd 911 that you can throw a 2-3 thousand dollar tune on and have around 550hp

Funny "if you forget if you are on 3rd or 1st " never happened to me, no need for a dashboard indicator, the position of the hand immediatley tells you where you are! A hundred years of manual transmissions without an indicator should be a solid argument :)
