Sorry guys, I hadn't been following the thread any longer. I was using a bit of hyperbole when I called it shyte, but to me it defeats the purpose of having a manual at all. The shifting isn't directly actuated. It's got to go through this conversion device because of the order of the gears, which are PDK based. They aren't lined up in the proper order, as shown by the first diagram. The shifter is no longer attached to the gearbox. It just goes to the converter, which in turns does the actual shifting. It's really no different to me than having paddle shifters. It's really just a question of where you put the shifter and people like it because it's in the traditional location. But when you shift a 991 7spd you aren't actually shifting the gearbox anymore.







The manual gearbox is clearly dead when both myself and Pete Stout are saying that we like the PDK.
