Hi, I got a new 911 with a PDK gearbox about 10 days ago. It's spent the last 5 days back at the garage, as the gearbox locks itself in one gear, and "gearbox failure" or something similar comes up on the display.

The garage and the factory don't know what's wrong and are trying to work out how to fix it.

Has anyone else had problems with the PDK gearbox?

Thanks

Well I got the car back 2 or 3 weeks ago, but was never 100% sure about it. It's now back at the garage with more gearbox problems. After making some lumpy gearchanges over a few days, it started making awful noises from the transmission.

Time to get my money back.

First time round, they changed a sensor and re-calibrated the mechanism. Which worked, for a while.
