In this tech session, we’ll dive into the world of the Porsche PDK transmission. We’ll uncover why Porsche suggests replacing the PDK instead of just servicing or repairing it. We’ll explore the components that make up the PDK, including critical failure points like the speed and distance sensor, clutch pack, front cover, and valve body. To make things more interesting, we’ll have a fully disassembled PDK available for you to examine up close.
