Accurate and involving: the six-speed manual gearbox is the link to each and every gear. The cable-operated gearshift unit is designed for optimum progression through the gears and the gear lever is insulated from the engine and gearbox.

The gear lever throw is short and precise, enabling a rapid gearshift action and positive response. An optional short shifter is available from Porsche Exclusive.

In addition, all 911 models have a self-adjusting clutch. In comparison with conventional clutches, this reduces by up to 50% the added release loads that normally occur as the clutch begins to wear.
