Hi, Dave. Sorry for the confusion. I found the more complete list in the Spec Book (page 62), and it appears that Porsche abandoned the 2nd digit info code per the 7"1"1xxxx number, and used a "7" in the 2nd digit to cover all the late transmissions. Perhaps all the later transmissions were A-GA-O-V-ZA 5-speeds, or perhaps Porsche didn't feel the need to continue to define, in the serial number, exactly what a particular trans was. Or perhaps they saved enough 711 serial numbers to cover special builds and Sportos. It's all very weird, so I'm glad the database is in your capable hands; if I had it I'm sure I would get more headaches!
