Each Porsche model has been engineered with innovative technologies. From the engine to the braking system, including the Porsche transmission, you’ll be impressed with how much detail goes into crafting these models. No matter if you have a classic Porsche manual transmission system or the Porsche PDK transmission system, learn more about how this component works and contributes to the full Porsche experience with our service team at Porsche Westlake.
What is the Porsche PDK transmission system and what does PDK stand for? PDK stands for “Porsche Doppelkupplung”. This translates to “Dual Clutch”, referring to the clutch design that combines two gearboxes in one automatic transmission. This gives models a lighting-fast responsiveness as when one clutch is engaged, the other is ready to go at a moment’s notice.
Though some prefer the ease of the Porsche PDK transmission, some prefer the Porsche manual transmission because of the control. This manual transmission allows you to shift gears when you’re ready, creating more connected driving experience. In addition, these models include rev-matching for an even smoother performance without relying on an automatic transmission.
If something feels wrong or you notice something strange, you’ll want to visit our service center to have it checked out. Some common issues with a transmission include:
These can indicate issues with the transmission components, which will need to be addressed by a certified technician. Low transmission fluid can also cause these issues, so be sure to check your transmission fluid levels first. Either way, our service department can help you determine the issue and have you back on Malibu roads in no time.
If you need a new transmission, don’t worry. Our parts and service centers offer plenty of options for you. Learn more about the Porsche PDK transmission system, our available services, and more when you contact our team at Porsche Westlake.
