Two Trans fixes ?

Thank you to all our dedicated fans for the comments regarding the GT3 RS by LEGO Technic.

It is correct that the gears in this model are not sequential as in the real Porsche PDK. This is however, a deliberate decision taken to ensure that we make the best possible LEGO version of this amazing car that both meets our design requirements and gives everyone a great building and product experience.

It was a considered decision taken during development that the gears running in the correct order meant that it did not result in a great experience when driving the car. Too many gears are engaged at the same time and smooth running with all those tolerances is just not possible.

If you switch the build in steps 267 and 269 the gears will run sequentially, and everyone who feels that this is the better solution should feel encouraged to do so.

LEGO Technic really is the ultimate open source design product and now that it is finally available, we look forward to seeing all the ‘improved’ models our fans create. After all, that is what LEGO building is all about.

We hope everyone will have a great building experience and feel a strong sense of pride from creating both our version and their very own LEGO Technic representation of a Porsche GT3 RS. We are very fortunate to have such skilled and dedicated fans that can spot this small deviation from reality and would like to thank everyone for sharing their ideas and expert knowledge.

I haven’t gotten a notification on mine yet. Hopefully I get one soon.

I actually should have looked for something before I built the set. I finished it, played with it. And realized the gears were wrong. It didn’t really shift at all for me when I followed the instructions. After the fix, mines as smooth as butter. Also, the car will shift indefinitely as long as you pull either one of the paddles. So you can go from 4th to first by pulling the upshift paddle. I’ve simply added a stop to mine. I have a post about it. Should be titled something like Porsche Transmission fix 2. That post explains it a lot better. Also, thanks for the link. I’ve been struggling with making a locking door mechanism.

I tried to order on June 1 @ 12:01AM, but could not. Then, I went to bed and got up to order it at 7:00AM. Finally had an order go thru at 9AM.. Grrr... They sent me several notes apologizing for the delay and explained that the packaging needed to be improved. They are alledgedly sending a $25 gift card for my trouble.

Hope yours ships soon !

I held off on ordering until the 5th. I was really trying to avoid spending $300 but eventually I caved. As the delay was due to a packaging issue with the shipping box and not the product itself I would hope they kept producing the set through the delay meaning they only have to package them for shipping. I am now expecting mine to ship within a few days. Now I just need to decide what to get with the gift card. I’m thinking the Mini.
