Yes. on my 991.1. And no, it's fine... As I said I got over it by pretending 7th does not exist, it solves the one issue: Downshift from 7th ->6th is almost impossible to me naturally, the spring tension takes me to 4th...you really have to think "hit 6th" !
But 7th is a totally useless gear unless you are cruising on a long trip. On my daily drive I rarely even see 6th. It' s fine box and I hear it got even better in the 991.2 so it stands to reason the 992 will be great. I never found the gear spacing to be a problem, it's very well sprung along the 3/4 plane so it's always obvious what's where - and you cannot go to 7 from anything other than 5 or 6 I think (i never tried), so at all times it feels like a normal 6 speed. With a $hitload of numbers on the top of the tree ;-)
