I have a 718 Cayman S with the PDK, and notice that often times when slowing down to a stop, I feel a slight shudder in the rear coupled with the metallic sound of the gear engaging, as it downshifts from 2nd to 1st gear. Sometimes it's louder than other. It doesn't matter if it's a quick stop or a slow one. It seems to do it more often when in Sport Mode.
This is my first PDK Porsche. My wife has a 2016 Macan S, which never makes a transmission sound. I have driven Porsche loaners (New Cayennes) that have quiet PDKs. I have taken the 718 back to the dealer, and they can't seem to isolate the cause of the downshift noise.
Anyone else experiencing this issue? The dealer says that Porsche stated that the PDK in the 718 was redesigned for the car, and are curious about any transmission issues being reported.
