Porsche 991.2 GT3 (MT) automatically adjusts the RPMs when shifting up as well!
Published on: 01.12.2019
Husband looking into GT3
The other day.Husband who has ordered a 911 GT3 Touring (991.2) in the blink of an eye.However, after that, he often gathers information at home by reading online reviews and magazines on GT3 touring.
."Since you've already ordered it, you don't need to gather information now, do you?I remember that even before we took delivery of our 971 Panamera, my husband had ordered a number of magazines about the Panamera and read them carefully, and he had read the Panamera's specifications in detail, and he was very interested in the Panamera.
Now, whenever the Panamera is delivered, it will be perfect!"
I remember saying.
So if you're GT3 Touring, you're even more likely to be able to say, "I want to understand and grasp every detail and be fully prepared for the day of delivery.I guess they think, "What's the point of this?
Can you automatically rotate and align?
I, on the other hand, am not so sure.GT3 Touring is a MT... I wonder if I can drive it, even though I'm getting a little used to the Boxster...I was somewhat anxious that(Oh no, it's a luxurious anxiety)The other day when we were talking about this, my husband said to me.
Maybe it would be easier to drive than a 981 Boxster MT, so it could work? Also, in an article about the GT3 in the May 2017 issue of GENROQ magazine, a Porsche GT division representative said, "When changing gears in sport driving, the accelerator pedal can be left depressed; the engine adjusts ignition timing momentarily.It said.
And.
...hmm? ...I mean, what does that mean...(-_-)?
No, that's why. In the current Boxster MT, when you shift up, you have to ease off the gas pedal for a moment and adjust the RPM by yourself, right? Not like that.You can keep your foot on the gas pedal all the time and the car will rev itself.It's just like a PDK. So, even though it is a manual transmission, it is as smooth to drive as if it were a PDK.
and her husband.
Wow, that's nice. That's great.But that would diminish the feeling of operating the gears yourself, even though you've gone to the trouble of buying a manual transmission...wouldn't that be less fun?I asked him, "What do you mean, you can't even drive a manual transmission?
Hmmm... I don't know... I don't know... I don't need to ease off on the gas pedal to automatically do the revs down...As long as you ease off the accelerator yourself, that's fine, because the revolutions will naturally slow down.The following is a list of the most common problems with the "C" in the "C" column.
In the case of auto-blipping, the car is trying to match the automatic rpm adjustment when downshifting by automatically increasing the rpm, but it's even more awkward because it's agitating itself. So it feels a bit different. Well, I'll have to try it out.
But it would be fun to have less interruption in acceleration, though not as much as PDK. But I wonder if this is really only effective in Sport mode. I'm curious, so I'll check it out.
My husband said, "I'm sorry, but I don't have any information in Japanese," and started to look it up on the Internet. However, there was no information in Japanese, so he searched various places in English and finally came up with "Shifting the GT3 TouringHe found a video explaining about the
MT operation of GT3 Touring (991.2)
I asked the person who posted that video directly by messaging him with a question.
Shifting up without lifting the foot from the gas can be done all the time, no need for sport mode.
They responded, in other words, "Always active, even if not in sports mode.It seems to be called "the
I also checked the 2018 GT3 instruction manual (English version) and it states the following
When changing gear, the accelerator pedal can remain pressed while the clutch is disengaged and engaged for optimum engine-speed compensation.
In this case, the engine speed is controlled automatically.
."When changing gears, the accelerator pedal can remain depressed while the clutch is disengaged, and when it is connected, it is corrected to the optimum engine speed. The engine speed is automatically controlled.And.
My husband is a
I wonder if it can be done on a 981 Boxster. I'm in the habit of easing off the gas pedal when shifting up, so maybe I just don't know about it, but it's actually possible!
but apparently the 981 Boxster does not have such a feature.
This feature may be superfluous for those who like to change gears with their own senses, but, ,At least, it is good news for those who are not confident in driving a manual transmission like me. I mean, I'm not sure I'd drive a GT3 touring car in such a situation.You're a million years too early! Come back here!I don't blame you if you say, "I'm not a fan of this..." (-_-).
Regardless, the upcoming GT3 Touring seems to be easier to drive than the Boxster, and I've heard from readers of this blog before that the
The touring pack is pretty good! The clutch is light and it's the best 911 ever!
and i'm really looking forward to taking delivery of my car in may!!!!

Hello.
It seems to me that the idea of not wanting to back off the accelerator pedal is like the idea of accelerating in motorsports. Is this the image of a racing car from a while ago? If the car can match the revolutions so well, I feel that I don't even need to step on the clutch except when stopping, but I don't know.
In terms of gear change assistance, I felt that the Ford Focus that I rented several times in the UK about 20 years ago might be doing something (I haven't checked). I felt that the rpm was maintained for a while, which made it easier to shift into 2nd gear. Of course, if the driver returns the accelerator pedal without disengaging the clutch, the rpm will drop. However, I have never felt this in any rental car since then, so it may not have been so much of a need.
In any case, it means that if you practice on a Boxster, you'll be fine (^ ^)

Hello. I see! The image of a racing car from a while ago.
So that's what happened to MT cars 20 years ago!
I am sure that MT cars are getting better and better, and I am sure that even if they are the same Porsche, they will be very different depending on the year and model.
>In any case, it means that if you practice on a Boxster, you'll be fine (^ ^ ^)
Indeed it is ^_^ Boxster practice, clutch meet first, good luck!
Nice to meet you.
I drive a red Boxster GTS (MY15) right MT and always enjoy reading your blog.
Sorry for being off-topic.
I don't know if you already know this, but I am writing in the clutch connection.
First MT in 15 years and with back pain, found this on a Boxster GTS owner's blog at the time of delivery. (Please delete the link if it is disturbing)

For the position, see the link here for the sheet..." in the text.
When you can start idling by operating the clutch with your heels on, traffic jams are not hard at all, and you can start off as easily as with an AT.
We use idling start and momentary gas pedal stimulation as appropriate.

Nice to meet you, my name is Mina. Thank you for visiting my blog!
>Manual transmission for the first time in 15 years and with back pain, I found this on a Boxster GTS owner's blog when I took delivery of my car.
Oh! Thank you for your valuable information...!
This is so freaking helpful! I too have done a lot of research online about how to drive a Porsche MT, but I couldn't find this article.
I'm sure you didn't get it right after reading it once or twice.
I will read it carefully later.
Just a quick question, when you operate the clutch with your heel on, doesn't it feel like your shin area is going to be pinched?
Is that because I simply have too little muscle mass...^^..;
Also, maybe you're putting too much effort into it in a weird way...
In any case, I'll read this article carefully, and use it in my next MT practice!
Thank you very much!
Good evening.
I think the reason I feel like I'm about to get hung up is because of the drag position. At first, I also had a lot of room in my knees and the clutch pedal was firmly pushed all the way to the floor with the ball of my thumb.
Like the article, I have always thought that the seat position should be as low as possible, with the seatback in an upright position, which is the default position for sports driving!
If the seatback is up and too close to the pedals with a low seat surface, you will be bending forward and it will be very hard on your ankles.
Therefore, if you raise the seat up to one fistful from the ceiling, lay the seatback down a little, and put your feet on the pedals with your toes in the right position, just as if your knees were fully extended, you can operate the pedals easily without pain in your legs or back.
I too have abnormally tight ankles and cannot sit in a yankee position. I flip over backwards.
Four years ago, on the way home from PC, I was still operating the clutch with my toe in the air, and after about 10 minutes of driving at a stoplight, I couldn't stand the heavy clutch and my left leg cramped up! I knew this was a bad idea, so I did some research on the Internet and mastered the idling start.
In the beginning, I tried to wear the kakato only when clutch-meeting, and before I knew it, I could do it naturally, so there is no need to rush. Also, since it is based on the principle of leverage with the kakato as the fulcrum, you do not need to use much tread force.
Mina, good luck with your MT mastery!
In case you are wondering, it was explained to me that Porsche nowadays can be started normally, but the PC people are always careful and responsive with idling start, regardless of air-cooled or water-cooled.
This is the Draposi version of the article I put up last time.

Lorinzer7.
Thank you for the detailed explanation!
I see...I understand now...! （I'm sorry for asking again, even though it was already written in the article.)
Driving position is so important...
I just tried it while sitting in my chair, imagining it, and sure enough, this puts absolutely no strain on the shin, and allows for smooth ankle manipulation!
>I also have abnormally tight ankles and can't sit up in a yankee position. I flip over backwards.
Lorinzer7, you do that too! I flip over backwards too, and even bending my knees on skis is delicate (lol)!
If Lorinzer7 can operate the clutch with no problem, then surely he can! I thought.
>In case you are wondering, it was explained to me that Porsche nowadays can be started normally, but the PC people are always careful to start idling regardless of whether it is air-cooled or water-cooled.
Ah, I see. That seems to be kinder to the car, and it seems to make for a smoother start.
Thanks for all your articles!
Next time I go to MT practice, I'll adjust to the driving position you showed me and try to drive from there!
Thank you for your continued support.
Sorry I can't explain the subtle manipulations better. It's okay, once you get the hang of it a little, it's easy to do!
At first, it is difficult to engage the clutch at idle alone, so I think it is better to raise the rpm a little (a little more than 1000 rpm?) instead of just gapping the accelerator pedal. It is easier to feel the clutch connection if you raise the rpms a little (about 1000 rpm or so) instead of just gulping down the accelerator pedal.
And...
Since you have a simulator, you can practice H-shifter and 3-pedal shifting operation in the comfort and safety of your own home.
I'm also very much into simulators and have a set of FANATEC set up in my Milestone V2 cockpit and a sim environment with XBOX ONE X and PS4 Pro.
FM6 and 7, PC1 and 2, AC, GTS and all I drive are Porsches...I'm with you ^_^.
Looking forward to more of your blogs!
I know it must be hard to keep up to date, but please take care of yourself and keep up the good work!
Lorinzer7.
Thank you! I will try to practice first to get the hang of it.
>You have a simulator so you can practice H-shifter and 3-pedal shifting operation in the comfort and safety of your own home.
Sure... practicing on a simulator is one way to go!
In the city, I still get nervous because there are cars around me (I have to get used to that ^^;).

Oh wow, that's great! I'm with my husband, really, both outside and at home, Porsche three times a day (laughs).
I would be happy to learn more from you in the future.
Thank you for your continued support!
