Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.
0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.
Suspected cause
Yup, a hotel valet in Nashville told me it was probably a better idea for me to park my E39 myself because he didn't want to try.
Leading evidence: 'better idea' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'better idea' (1 discussions; 0 report identifying it and 1 suggest it). No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
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.

I love the manual transmission, too. Certainly for the 996. The 996 Tiptronic is for the birds. However, the 991 PDK is a whole different animal, not to be confused with the 996 Tiptronic. Lots of arguments both ways when it comes to the current PDK. IMO the Porsche engineers summarized it well. If you drive in the city mostly, get the PDK. If you like driving down canyon roads and up and hills and scenic back roads, get the manual. If you like the best performance and drive on the track, get the PDK.
20 years ???
I had a valet few weeks back that had to pass on driving my M5 because he was a bitch that couldn't drive a stick. I got a good laugh out of that and was happy he didn't try to learn.
They took OEM ecu programming from the 991R to remap the GT3RS. Pretty extensive process, I thought it was cool they had access to the R's programming though.

Yup, a hotel valet in Nashville told me it was probably a better idea for me to park my E39 myself because he didn't want to try. At least he was forthcoming about it...
Pretty cool mod! 😍
Almost like a middle finger to Porsche AG
I recognise a lot of it from my Tiptronic to manual conversion. Okay this is another league of complexity, but in the basis it is the same.
Most crucial is the reprogramming of all the different control units. Installing the new parts is just extensive wrenching.
