I was surprised to read that the solution to a control problem is replacing the entire gearbox - this seems (in the absence of any other information) to be excessive. Rennlist has a good sticky on repairing PDKs. In any case Porsche needs to introduce some exchange program so that the value in the "broken" gearbox is returned to the customer. In this case, for instance, I speculate that the mechanical components, clutches etc are entirely serviceable. The current arrangement makes the customers with the first-generation PDK boxes the gamma-testers of a new device. It would be interesting to PDK compare failure rates in the 997 with the later 991s and 992s.
