The problem of grinding inside the gearbox actually appeared after 8-9 months, at the beginning I replaced the front differential, I thought that was the cause - inside the differential.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

hello all, i got my 2000 c2 6 speed about 2 years ago with 30k miles now it has 45k miles and i cant even downshift to 2nd gear from 3rd at all! It upshifts from 1st to 2nd with no problems except sometimes at high rpm. So i was wondering if anyone else experienced this?

POST 2Original post

Dear guys, i notice there is some 'wave grinding noise' on my panamera 4S v8. it only happen on 7th gear from 1000rpm to 1400rpm when i put in a little load with my right foot. attached is the video. if you notice the rpm needle actually skips a little and that is when the wave grinding noise is noticeable. will need to turn on the volume to have better hearing any advise and any idea what could went wrong on my car? hopefully forumers here could help me out

POST 3Original post

This sounds like a syncro issue. When did it start? Did it get progressively worse, or just immediately happen? Have you done any work on the car recently before this started? Cheers, DS

POST 5Original post

Syncro issues are pretty common for the 996, especially going down into 2nd gear.

POST 6Original post

I had this problem on my '10 P4S a couple of weeks ago. I had 22" wheels on it and they replaced the transmission and blamed it on the tire diameter differential front to rear. There are zero 22" tires for these cars that fall within "spec" and I'm having to go back to 20's in stock tire sizes to avoid damaging it again. Tough pill to swallow, but I have no choice. Car had 35k mi on it and is babied when driven. Sad stuff.

Quote: I have not done any upgrades to the engine/performance and it seems like it might have started grinding a little and then it got worse and worse over couple months. Is there a easy way in fixing this or will the tranny have to be removed?

POST 8Original post

When I say the same problem, I mean exactly the same. My video is identical and so was the noise.

Hi- Mines is doing the same exact thing!!!! Did anyone ever resolve?

POST 11Original post

Detent issue. either do the detent upgrade for $160 or a tranny overhaul $6k. My C4S is in the shop right now as we speak for the same issue.

POST 12Original post

I am having the same issues the rpm gauge is ticking a bit and when you give acceleration it makes that noise almost like you hit a rumble strip. has anyone figured out what this is?

POST 14Original post

I have a 2013 Panamera (3.6L) and I am experiencing exactly the same symptoms you mentioned. After taking it to change the oil of the PDK gearbox, I have the same problems in the 5th and 7th gears. I am a bit puzzled and don’t know what could be wrong. I am not sure whether to complain to the place where I had the PDK gearbox oil changed or to take it to another workshop to have the PDK gearbox checked directly. How did you solve your problem? Is there a solution? Is it worth it considering that PDK gearbox repairs are very expensive? Thank you, I really appreciate yours comments/suggestions...

Quote: I thought the detent upgrade is for poping out gears? mine doesn't pop out, it just grinds a little when downshifting? or will it solve the grinding aswell?

POST 16Original post

You need recalibrate PDK. This problem is on odd ratios.

POST 17Original post

Contact GBox. They did great for me. Detent fix did not work on mine so ended up getting a rebuild. Would not hurt to give them a call though and talk to them. First mine started grinding, then popping out. Worse when it was cold.

POST 18Original post

Can you describe in more detail what the odd coefficient difference is? Were you ever able to fix this failure?

POST 20Original post

If you have clutch skating on odd gears (1000-1500 tr/mn) and tachometer needle oscillates it's an oil pressure problem inside gearbox. First you need recalibrate PDK with piwis 3.

POST 22Original post

Marc13190 The fault with my transmission is mainly a grinding sound in 5th and 6th gear in the range of 1800-2500 rpm This is a serious problem that no one has fixed, this grinding sound concerns AWD and RWD cars, so I suspect it has nothing to do with the front differential. There is a thread on the internet, someone wrote that it has something to do with the fact that the ignition coils do not turn on because of the solenoids. You write that it is a pressure error in the gearbox? What is this error and do I need to interfere with the replacement of seals in the gearbox? Will calibration alone fix this problem? Is the transmission software version incorrect?

POST 24Original post

Recalibrate pdk is not warranty, but it's the first action by porsche. The problem come on after 6/8 months generaly. After you can try to change oil and put Total Fluidmatic DCT MV. A friend have change oil and he don't have problem sinc 15000 kms. But if you have problem in 6th it's not this problem. This problem is only for odd ratios

POST 25Original post

The problem of grinding inside the gearbox actually appeared after 8-9 months, at the beginning I replaced the front differential, I thought that was the cause - inside the differential. Only now I replaced the oil with filter in the gearbox, I thought that the oil level was not right. However, everything went back to the beginning and it grinds even in 3rd gear - from 1500 rpm, above 3000 rpm the sound stops. Will you assess this fault yourself, what should I do step by step? I will add that the differential that I replaced has the same part number and the same gear ratio. It comes to my mind in connection with the fact that I have 265/30/22 and 315/30/22 tires installed, they have differences in the tire circumference. Does this affect anything?

POST 26Original post

Calibrate your pdk to see if the fault disappears. This problem come on after oil refill on pdk and i don't know why

POST 27Original post

Hey did you guys ever figured out the problem? i have the same problem on 2011 porsche panemera after pdk gearbox oil change i have standart 20” and standart tire size on i got gearbox calibraited but seems like it did not work thanks!
