Paddle shifter retrofit..HELP!
Has anyone been able to retrofit a new style paddle shifter to a 997.1 TT? I am told it can NOT be done...that for some reason, it fits on other tiptronic P cars but not the Turbo. Thanks for the help.

I had Ryan get me a paddle wheel for my 07 turbo because He thought it would work. After a wasted day he found out what his tech's already new that IT WOULD NOT WORK ON A TIPTRONIC TURBO. It only retrofits a 09 and up pdk that did not come with paddle shifters! I sold my 07 turbo and have been looking for the right pdk turbo/turbo S with paddles. In the end Suncoast said they would take care of me for all my trouble ( hope they still will some day ).

The current Porsche paddle shifter wheel will not work on a 07 911 Turbo tip.
My Porsche dealer made several attempts to get it to work but failed. I finally went with the FVD paddle shifter wheel. 30 minutes to install and no problems. IMO it is a major improvement over the stock push button wheel. The wheel is thicker with a much better overall feel . I was surprised how much difference the wheel would make. The only downside is no Porsche emblem. Super quality. Give Rhonda a call at FVD. Attached are pictures of the wheel and after it was installed.

Thanks Trturbo...that looks like the best option unless I want to pony up for a 997.2! Nice wheel!
