PDK Tuning with COBB Sequential Style Programming

[gtsralph]

Cobb have finally released a software mod for PDK gearboxes. I guess you'll need to have to buy the Cobb Accessport but aside from the "two paddle selection of neutral" which is standard, the reversal of shift movement for up/down gear changes looks the best feature.

Is the reversal helpful? I thought pushing the lever up to change up a gear and down to change down a gear was pretty intuitive.

When you accerarate you get pushed back in your seat, so it’s far nicer and easier to also pull back on the gear shift.

Pushing forward while your whole body is being pushed back is just plain stupid and you are fighting 1g to do so.

Have you never driven a sequential box or race car ?

Reversing the lever to match the GT3 and pretty well every other car makes sense to me.

Shame it’s no good for 9x7 models.

Unfortunately never driven a race car, what you say makes sense though.

So the GT3 has it the other way round? So wtf have Porsche done the opposite on all its other cars??

Sounds interesting but I have to wonder if killing the "no creep" stops hill start from working properly. The reverse of the stick shifter direction makes perfect sense.
