I must say that this is the best explanation of a complex PDK I have ever seen, your patience and delivery are superb ✅ you have my Respect gratefully sir

It’s amazing how something so complicated can be so reliable. Excellent presentation.

|10/10. This strikes a really good balance between complex mechanical engineering details and the practical stuff that a reasonably mechanically-minded driver wants to know about PDK. Delivered with great clarity and demonstrated with an actual PDK gearbox stripped down. Well done, thank you.

The primary reason I work on my own stuff is because I love to learn how things work. Digging into the mechanical "how and why" is almost as fun as driving the car. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

The structure of the PDK, which is complex even if you just imagine it, was absorbed into my brain thanks to your kind explanation. Thank you!!

The reliability of the PDK when considering the complexity is amazing. 83k on my 981 with no problems. I change half the PDK fluid every year as a preventive measure. The transmission is simply sublime for its speed, and its flexibility. Porsche is an amazing engineering company that makes the best cars in the world, with all parameters considered imho.

Kudos to the engineers and the precise manufacturing behind this unit. ZF certainly deserves their place near the top of the food chain for transmissions. Extra kudos to Jeff for explaining such a complex system in a detailed and intuitive way.

Wow. Thanks for this and all you have done for the P-car community.

Wow what a video ,its amazing the Pdk works so well . Bought my first Porsche 2014 boxster s guards red 14 k miles .drove it 500 miles last week. Love it.

Mega explanation, pdk is the best transmission in the world

When I see how complex and advanced engineering it is, you understand why a new one is expensive. It's not exactly simple few parts, Thanks for explaining 🙂👍

11:42 the Hunting tooth ratio concept is so fascinating. In computer science we have a very similar concept when it comes to the modulus used for a hash table. We always use a prime number to prevent uneven distribution of items into slots.

Amazing. It came to mind for me that the inner components and interactions of a single biological cell are possibly magnitudes more complex than this marvelous mechanical human invention. Thank you for sharing.

Really appreciate these videos, Jeff. Thank you.

This is now two of your videos I’ve recently seen that I’ve enjoyed very much… subscribed!

What an incredible, detailed and fantastically logically broken down explanation of anything I've ever seen. Absolutely love this!!!! Sub'd!!!

Wow. Blown away with how detailed this is. So interesting ! Thanks for shooting this, and helping out all us gear heads :)

That is the clearest, most comprehensive description of the Dual clutch design and operation ever seen. massive thanks!

What an amazing piece of engineering!!! Your explanation is next level, I can see this video getting millions of views over the next few years, well done

Excellent breakdown of the intricacies of the PDK transmission. You went the extra mile to explain all the inner workings of this well engineered transmission. I applaud your efforts, great job.

Anxious to watch part 2

Great video Jeff, thank you for taking the time and effort to do this excellent explanation of the Porsche PDK transmission. I now have a much better understanding of how this transmission works.

Excellent presentation Jeff !

Outstanding presentation Jeff. Simply outstanding.

Thanks for helping improving my understanding of these clutches by a very big amount, great video.

Mighty video , well done

Awesome vid! I had a summer job whilst in college, it was at a GM plant in Cleveland OH, mostly the plant was big presses and metal stamping, but they had a fully automated line making automatic transmission gears, that line was amazing to watch step by step. Raw metal in, finished gears out, and it appeared to operate flawlessly.

Fantastic video. Everything is explained with a great use of graphics and then the real items for consolidation. Can’t wait for part 2. This makes me a little less scared of the PDK in my Cayman. Such a minor thing, but seeing how “park” works was such a little joy for me, I’d never really thought about it previously, such a simple solution.

Thanks a lot for this video! Always wondered how the mighty PDK works

Well done Jeff, very informative and useful.

Seems a beautifully built mechanism. I know all modern engines and gearboxes are really well made with precision CNC components. But I reckon Porsche engineering is another step up. As a Porsche owner, I like to imagine that is the case.

Thank you sir, a wonderfully shot, structured and accessible insight into some brilliant engineering!

Excellent video. I knew the basics, but these vids are packed full of detail I'd never thought about, like how 1st and reverse are on the same shaft so they both use the bigger clutch, and how the control hydraulics work. I knew the concept of hunting tooth gears, but never knew it had a name. Thanks

Fantastic explanation. Think I finally understand these boxes now. Great channel

Excellent video and the best info by far on the PDK transmission!!

That was a masterful explanation. Thank you for sharing. Looking forward to watching the other parts.

Just an amazing doctoral presentation! Now, I understand the workings of a PDK transmisssion . . . pretty much :)

Another awesome video. Every Porsche should geek out on these videos.

What a great vid - even for a (semi-) experienced tech. I've just never seen a PDK in pieces. Thank you! 😃👍

Thank you! Bring on Part 2!

Engineering Explained and the Humble Mechanic explained VW DSG years ago and I did get the overall concept, but your detail is next level. I am now a sub. Thanks from the States.

Excellent content Jeff!!! Keep it up!

That was an amazing piece of explanation, thank you

Great explanation

I have an 18 gt3. I sure appreciate the mechanic explanation you’re giving. There’s a reason everyone copies it

This feeds my thirst for mechanical know how. Thank you for sharing 👏🏽

you are LEGEND! thanks for all content!

Incredible! Love your channel, keep up the good work.

You are AMAZING for making such informative videos to educate people like me that you don't even know. Thanks a 100000 times. I would like to buy you a beer so as to show my appreciation!!!!

Amazing...i didnt expect this quality and thoroughness.

Great information on the manumatic.

Jeff; thank you for video.

Amazing, thank you so much for the explanation!

Brilliant. Thanks for this.

Best & Detail explanation of a Dual Clutch System

Awesome channel Richo. Well done. 👍

Excellent presentation! Thank you.

Brilliant, this is an excellent explanation 👍

This is amazing!!! Thanks for posting this highly educational video.

Although I’m already intimate with how this all works, very informative and entertaining video anyway. Well done. Keep on repairing so called sealed items.

Danke dir! Thank you for sharing the information!

Fantastic video

Fantastic video. Thanks from a PDK 981 Cayman S owner.😎

incredible video

what a great and interesting video 👍👍

I expected to not learn much because of how complicated these things are but damn I learned a ton Thanks man

Hats off for efforts to make this beautiful but very informative video for all of us car lovers🔥

Respect!!!👍👍👍⚙️🛠 I can only imagine how many hours was spent 4this great video presentation. Thank you. Well done sir!😃

Amazing video, extremely educational

Great job! Keep the content coming. Inspiring me to want to take on a Porsche project car.

great video 👏🏻

In the first stages of viewing this video so far, it seems like an excellent presentation. Thumbs up from a 7-speed manual owner in my 991.1 GTS. Looking at those valves and how new components shed material, I would tend to change my PDK fluid far more often than the recommended interval, but that is just me. The wet clutch is exactly how motorcycle clutches work, but they are manually activated. By the way, the 7-speed manual transmissions has just as few parts available.

Awesome information video. Very well done.

Amazing! Thanks a lot for this!

Amazing tutorial!

Great information, thank you

Excellent video!

Brilliant mate

Im a mechanic and this was by far more advanced than you give credit! Its very similar to the 02e from vw thanks for sharing.

Just amazing, thanks

Looking forward to part 2 - your clarity & care in explanation with simple but effective diagrams is fantastic. Insta-subscribe.

This is great stuff - thanks!!

Great to see. I build the end of linie test bench für this transmission years ago. 😍 I learned a lot about technology and very important, the collaboration acoustics of the engine and transmission. 👍

Amazing videos!

Wow man, this is some precious info right here you're giving us, thank you so much. Now I can stop assuming and be 100% sure that 90+% of the mechanics are dead fucked when will receive a dct in the shop. I have super strong doubts that they will have any patience with this.

You earned my subscription good sir, very informative. Thanks for the video

Brilliant.

Great video, thanks

Well conveyed, transmissions are a bit of a dark art to some but you have definitely shed some light upon the forest

Phenomenal video!

Porsche engineering tour de force!!!! Love my Macan Turbo!

3742 likes and not a single dislike, insane quality sir

great video!

Amazing!

Fantastic explanation. It’s a masterpiece, nothing new really, just automatic transmission technology meets, manual, only addition is dual input shaft. Fantastic, definitely like one in my classic

Let me preface this by saying that your presentation and explanations, especially the visuals, are excellent and truly appreciated. That said, I can't share your enthusiasm for a company that goes out out of their way to severely limit access to information and parts necessary to repair something as expensive and critical as the transmission. The end result is a burdensome and unnecessary cost to the average consumer of being forced to pay to replace the entire transmission when a problem arises rather than just replacing the individual parts involved. Most shops, including Porsche dealerships themselves, won't even take the time to look into the transmission to make a complete diagnosis bc they know that even if they do find the problem it's unlikely they'll be able to get the parts to fix it. So you end up with a situation like that just posted on the Grassroots Motorsports channel where an owner sold his Cayman at a substantial loss bc he was quoted $15k to replace a transmission that could have been fixed with $50 in parts. Something is very wrong when various forums and UKposts videos are the only access consumers and technicians alike have to repair information.

pure respect

All I can say is I love you, man.

This video actually puts into perspective just how much engineering went into this transmission and why porsches cost so much
