...ummm do you think these two might be related?
Ummm. Let me think. Yeah, that would be no? Unless Porsche is publishing incorrect information the maximum downshift point from 2nd to 1st on my '99 is 35 mph or 4000 RPM.

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.
