    PDK Problems

    in 987-2 Series (Boxster, Boxster S, Spyder)

    Posted · Edited by tutiana

    I am having problems with the PDK transmission. I have the a 2009 Boxster Basic (2.9L) with PDK. It has 2000+ miles.

    This is my first Boxster or Porsche. I did briefly drive a Boxster S and a Cayman S, both with the PDK, and they did not have this problem. Also I have searched online and not found any similar difficulties with the PDK. However, I have not seen any discussion of a 2.9L with PDK.

    The transmission is often very balky and jerky in 1st & reverse. Occasionally I even get a 'clunk'. When I talked to service on the phone they asked me if I were driving with my left foot on the brake and then started to explain to me that it was a manual with automatic clutch(es) implying that it should feel like that--like I was very stupid. I am very distressed about this and don't know what to do. I still can't get the transmission to start from stop smoothly and reliably. When I start up at a light, for example, I don't know if the transmission will 'catch' right away or not. I can't keep up in stop & go traffic.

    I often think I have left on the parking brake. I find myself frequently checking the parking brake but I have never left it on. However, the car often does sometimes feel like I have my foot on the brake when I start from stop.

    Found your complaint online and i have the same problems with my brand new cayman. I couldn't shift out of first gear today and the problem only went away when i restarted the engine. Gonna take it to the workshop tomoro but wandering what happened to yours? Was it fixed? Mine also jerks sometimes from 1st to 2nd gear. SO disappointed with PDK. And i also got those clouds of smoke at times...sigh...maybe should have bought an M3 instead
