Rick, the bugaboo I'm referring to happens from rest (at a traffic light) going from neutral to first with the 5 speed. I didn't try downshifting into first when I test drove an S, but I know most transmissions no-likee the downshift into first and will put up resistance (as MN Boxster alludes to).
That being said, downshifting into first at sane speeds/rpms with the 987 5 speed is no problem...although not personally recommended. And yes, I did use "bugaboo" in a post. |

Giggle. 987S can't shift into 1st. Ah, there's justice in the world after all! |
"I like to pull up to the corners, downshift into 2nd while braking, then shift into 1st to pull out of the corner."

Hey, it's not my fault the guy can't downshift above 5 mph. Like I said, I've only ever had that problem on my Harley and that was fixed with a set of new back-cut Andrews gears. If that was a problem on MY Porsche - I'd be looking for solutions. |
