TIGHTENING TORQUE SPECIFICATION

Location	Descri...	Type	Basic value	Tolerance 1	Tolerance 2
Fastening screw for balancing weight		Tightening torque	30 Nm	+ 5 Nm

Vehicle Type:

718 Spyder (982)/718 Cayman GT4 (982)

Equipment:

6-speed manual transmission (M-no. 480)

Concerns:

Manual transmission

Symptom:

A customer complains about a scraping noise when changing from 1st to 2nd gear.

Cause:

For performance reasons, no shifting mass was installed on the manual transmission on 718 Spyder (982) and 718 GT4 (982) vehicles, e.g. to achieve sportier gearshifts. As a result, under unfavorable conditions such as:

Cold transmission oil
High shifting speed
High engine speed

Noises can be heard when changing from 1st to 2nd gear.

Remedial Action:

In the event of a complaint, a balancing weight can be retrofitted on the manual transmission.

Information

Replacing the manual transmission will not correct the problem because this is not a manual transmission fault.

Information

Please note that retrofitting the balancing weight changes the vehicle's shift feel. As a result, shifting can then be perceived as less sporty than before and is then comparable with the shift feel of the 718 Boxster/Cayman GTS 4.0 (982).

On the 718 Spyder/Cayman GT4 (982), the shift feel was deliberately adapted to a sportier setup than on the 718 Boxster/Cayman GTS 4.0 (982).

Inform the customer about this before retrofitting the balancing weight

Also inform the customer that retrofitting the balancing weight cannot be invoiced under the new vehicle warranty or PAW (Porsche Approved Warranty) as this is not a fault.
