    Final Drive Ratio of 981 Cayman/S Manual/PDK

    I'm trying the gather some info on the final drive ratio of 981 Cayman/S Manual/PDK but the info around the internet is conflicting each other.

    I found a Porsche document that states 3.25 final drive for Cayman 2.7 and 3.89 for 3.4 S. Then I found another document which states 3.89 final drive for both 2.7 PDK and 3.4 S PDK.

    However, our Cayman does 114 km/h @2000 rpm in 7th gear which means 445 km/h @7800 SmileySmiley So it can be fitted with 3.89 final drive; it should be 3.25

    One chance is maybe Cayman 2.7 PDK had 3.89 final drive in MY13 cars and for MY14 cars, Porsche decides to put 3.25 on the 2.7 PDK.

    Has anyone known the final drive for MY14 Cayman models for sure?

    Reginos,

    Thank you for the link, but I saw this and I also saw this:

    http://press.porsche.com/vehicles/2013/2013_Boxster_Specs_Final.pdf

    This is why I said there is a conflict on the data given by Porsche.

    I can only suspect the newer one for 2014 must be the more accurate. This differentiates between the FD Ratios of manual and PDK. Unlikely, that they were the same before.

    Forgive me if I´m mistaken but in both the above documents the final drive ratios for Cayman/Cayman S are equal. The difference, as is described in the first link, is that on the PDK cars the final drive ratio is taller yet the individual gear ratios are shorter compared to the versions with manual gearbox.

    Obviously, only on the manual gearbox the first three gears (and reverse) are shorter on the std. Cayman in comparison to the Cayman S. Between the cars with PDK, there seems to be no difference between gear or final drive ratios.
