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.

The stock paper filter works very well, so it's not really necessary to change away from it.

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 1Original post

Hello, my 6-speed manual 987.2 indicates upshift when it is already in 6th gear. This problem started after I installed a K&N performance air filter, have you had a similar experience and what could be causing this?

POST 2Original post

I don’t see how the two could possibly be related. Have you done any coding?

POST 6Original post

?? Not "is it indicating upshift" - but HOW does it indicate this?

POST 7Original post

Its manual gearbox. There is a row on the dashboard which asks you to shift up.

POST 8Original post

I have PDK .. I can't recall a display on the 6 speed, but it sounds like there is one, at least where you're located.. (Georgia the country?)

POST 9Original post

I've had my Cayman w/MT for 16 yrs and I almost always am in at least 1 gear lower than optimal economy (I like to drive at slightly higher RPM), and I honestly forget about that upshift indicator until your post. Now it's probably going to bother me Nope Upon further review... I think maybe that indicator was on my old 2007 BMW Z4 . No wonder it doesn't bother me 🤪

POST 10Original post

Yup, my 2010 Boxster has the upshift triangle as well - I never pay attention to it, as it seems to want to bog the motor. I doubt the K&N had anything to do with this, but I would get rid of that anyway. It's not doing you any favors - it's well known to be bad at filtering air, and if you ever reoil it "incorrectly" it can damage the MAF. Not worth it. There are other foam/oil filters that work well, but K&N isn't one of them. The stock paper filter works very well, so it's not really necessary to change away from it. I'm guessing there may be a microswitch in the trans that is not seeing that you're in 6th, so it's suggesting an upshift? I wouldn't worry about it... just ignore it like the rest of us, haha!

POST 13Original post

I had one of those pesky things on an Audi Coupe years ago. Ignored it long enough the bulb burned out. Maybe you'll get lucky.
