Most Stick-shift Cayenne Models
The land of the stick shift SUV is an increasingly sparse one, with very few SUV models currently offering three pedals -- and none offering it for performance, but rather for lower advertised prices. The last high-performance SUV with three pedals was the Porsche Cayenne, but even the Cayenne didn't make it a sporty model. Most stick-shift Cayenne models, including all second-generation versions, had a V6. Except, for a brief time in the late 2000s, Porsche offered the Cayenne GTS with a manual transmission. That meant you could get a Porsche SUV with all-wheel drive and room for the whole family, combined with sporty GTS suspension and the GTS's 405-horsepower V8, combined with a 6-speed manual transmission. Naturally, these stick-shift Cayenne GTS models are hugely rare, but here's one for sale on Autotrader. Offered by Midwest Auto Exchange in the Chicago suburb of Burr Ridge, Illinois, this Cayenne GTS has traveled just over 100,000 miles since new. 29,800, which may seem like a lot, but these Cayenne models seem to hold their value better than you might expect -- manual or not. This one is triple black, featuring a black interior, a black exterior and black wheels, and the Carfax report notes it's always been in the Chicago area.
So, Im cautiously optimistic. Just drove (to get 4 new tires!) and no jerking or slipping. It was bad this morning, now nothing! I want to drive it more as I refuse to believe with my luck that this simple fix worked. If I could buy all of you guys a beer I would. New to the forum, but wanted to let all of you know i was able to cure my hesitation/skipping from 2nd to 3rd gear doing the fluid change on the transfer case as well. It does take driving about 10-25 miles to get the oil in all the right spots and now shifts smooth! I used genuine Porsche TC fluid, but bought the Ravenol to replace and flush out the remaining oil i just bought and remaining old TC in the TC after 1500 - 2000 miles of driving. Thanks for the heads up with this post! Easy job. Took about 30 min! One thing a number of us over on Rennlist are trying - with some success - is the addition of a small amount (1-2Oz) of limited-slip-differential additive to the stock transfer case fluids.
I can report that it works. I was feeling just a bit of the lower gear shifts on my '11 CTT with the original transfer case (oil changed several times in past 50,000 miles). Without bothering to change the oil - I added about 1.5 Oz of friction modifier - and I can't feel gear changes anymore. Watching the tach when the changes take place is about the easiest way to know they actually did take place, and reveals no slippage on the engagement of a higher gear. Yesterday my wife drove the car while I was a passenger, and I was trying to feel the shift points and it was really difficult to tell when it shifted. Basically just a change in engine note - no roughness at ALL. 5,000 miles on this "fix" and the fix still working, I think it might be ready for prime time soon. Not that I'm telling you what to do. Of course if you DO have a really bad case and you're going to be replacing it anyway (at your expense) I don't think you have anything to lose by trying this. Please do let us know here (and Rennlist maybe?) how it works out. I noticed some weird thumping (like wheel rubbing against fender) when taking off from a light and turning left. No acceleration hesitation or harsh shifts though. I proceeded to change the rear differential oil with full synthetic 75W90 (whatever Wal-Mart brand) and then the Transfer Case fluid with Valvoline Max Life ATF since it's lt 71141 compatible. The issues went away after the transfer case fluid change. Both the differential and transfer case fluid were probably the original and looked pretty black. All these fluids smell awful by the way so if you can do it outside on a flat drive way instead of your garage I recommend that. I reused the transfer case plugs since they are pretty stupid expensive. I just cleaned them off and applied Permatex High Temp thread sealant.
