I have been looking at various 991’s and just wanted to understand when they did get rid of the buttons to change gear in favour of the paddles.

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.

Hi all,
I am in the process of selling my 981 gt4 after owning it for a few years. I am after a 991s or gts both na 3.8 versions rather than the turbo.
Aim is to get the kids in the back and have it for more day trips with the family
I have been looking at various 991’s and just wanted to understand when they did get rid of the buttons to change gear in favour of the paddles.
And around that time did they change anything else worth having on the cars? I don’t want the buttons to change gear
Thanks
Pete
Pa if anyone is interested in a 2016 guards red gt4 with 14k on the clock clubsport spec let me know
Get a manual, thank me later.
There’s only one 3.8 manual on AT at the moment and it’s £15k more expensive than newer 3.0T versions (granted lower miles) but in a terrible colour.
Future classic.
All PDK 991.1 with multi function steering wheel have the push/pull buttons. And they are awful. IIRC you could swap the steering wheel and gain the paddles.

They didn't get rid of buttons for paddles. Buttons were standard, paddles were an option.
I personally preferred buttons. 90% of other people preferred paddles.
But both were fairly dim-witted and it was better to drive them as an auto IMHO.

Game changer, well worth it
This, I had my independent do the same. Basic sport wheel + paddles and the little stick for multi function duties which I prefer.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
