Under oil pressure, clutch 1
closes and forms a frictional
connection with input shaf t 1.
The torque is now transmit ted
through the first half gearbox
– and then the dif ferential – to
the rear axle. At this stage,
PDK has already preselected
the next gear in the second
half gearbox. Engine torque
is already acting on the other
outer disc carrier and, in
response to a gear change
signal, the overlap shift is initi -
ated, i.e. as clutch 1 opens,

clutch 2 closes. The non-positive
connection with input shaft 2
is
established, and power is
trans
mit ted to the wheels.
The gear which is engaged is
displayed on the instrument
cluster.
Depending on the gearshift
programme, the gear change
is optimised for comfort or for
sport y handling and takes place
in a mat ter of milliseconds.

The advantage over a fully manual
transmission is the considerably
faster rate of acceleration for the
same rate of fuel consumption.
Boxster | Drive
The advantage over a fully auto -
matic transmission
is the per -
ceptible increase in driving
dynamics – with a similar level of
comfort, and a distinct reduction
in fuel consumption.
The com -
pact dimensions of the gearbox
reduce rotational
masses which
means a more direct engine
response, and the system is
more lightweight.
PDK function diagram
This, along with the long-ratio
7th gear, helps to achieve
reduced fuel consumption and
emission figures comparable with
those of a manual gearbox.
With the optional Sport Chrono
Package, PDK is enhanced by
the
‘Launch Control’ and ‘motor-
sport- derived gearshif t strategy’
functions (p. 57). In essence, PDK combines sport
i
-
ness with efficiency and comfort.

What does all this mean for you?
Uninterrupted driving pleasure.
