Is it just a case of changing out the wheel to one with the paddles, or is there more things that'd need changing/reprogramming ?

Does anyone know how complicated (read as expensive) it is to change a 991 Turbo (or turbo S) with wheel mounted gear change rockers to the more traditional behind the wheel paddle shift ?

When pushing on I found that quite often I would change gear unintentionally when cornering which made a real mess of the exit!

Pretty sure it's just a case of changing the wheel (including the addition of the stalk thing that scrolls through the PCM functions).

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

Does anyone know how complicated (read as expensive) it is to change a 991 Turbo (or turbo S) with wheel mounted gear change rockers to the more traditional behind the wheel paddle shift ? Is it just a case of changing out the wheel to one with the paddles, or is there more things that'd need changing/reprogramming ?

POST 2Original post

Pretty sure it's just a case of changing the wheel (including the addition of the stalk thing that scrolls through the PCM functions). Porsche quoted around £1100 to get it done as I remember it. Tech art do a really nice paddle shift kit that allows you to keep the multi function wheel and that's about £500 if I remember right. I had it fitted to my car and it was great.

POST 3Original post

Had the multi function swapped out for the sport wheel ( with paddles ) when picking up the Turbo S Very straightforward swap.

POST 4Original post

Speak to Darren 07943 311332 or email www.edition9.co.uk He's done a few

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks for the info guys It still bemuses me why people continue spec them with the wheel mounted rockers, as they seem so counter intuitive to use in a world where even mini coopers come with paddles now days It's good to see that at circa £1k change, it's not a deal breaker in the scheme of things when you're talking about a >£100k car

POST 6Original post

Been thinking about this on my 997.2 turbo S after a trip to the 'Ring last year. When pushing on I found that quite often I would change gear unintentionally when cornering which made a real mess of the exit! Can't really understand why someone buying a car like this from new would specify anything other than paddles. (I am 2nd owner). I guess price would be similar to that mentioned already?
