Well we learnt something making this video and feel in love with the Sporto, would you venture into the Sportomatic world?

@trickyotoole3542 5 месяцев назад

yep get one no probs

@JoJoJoker Месяц назад

I’d love to convert my 964 C4 to a Sporto if it was an option.

@morten_hannesbo 8 месяцев назад

Love it. I own a 1970 911T Sportomatic, too.

@OutlawGarage 8 месяцев назад

Great, thanks for watching

@laserscan2591 Год назад

Hi, Thanks for the interesting video. I've owned my 72E sporto for over 35 years and still love it. Most people that have been in my car can't believe how "ahead of it's time" the electronic clutch is. I got the impression that you didn't think that there was an actual clutch plate in the Sporto. There is - no different to a foot operated manual. The only difference is that its electro-pneumatically actuated and not moved by your foot. I'm also fairly sure that it can be set to work faster than a foot clutch. (I think that the original Porsche spec for the shift was 0.3 seconds.)

Thanks for the extra info. 72 is a special year and that's a massive amount of time to own the same car, congratulations and well done.

The Sportomatic was from 1967 to 1980. I have a ‘73 911E Sportomatic Targa which I used to use in hillclimb & sprints, it was competitive and reliable. Very enjoyable. The later 3 speed Sportomatic (from 1975) wasn’t quite as nice as a driver’s car - more for those who wanted a true auto; it was OK for town driving as you could just leave it in second.

Thanks for the extra information 👍

@trickyotoole3542 6 месяцев назад

Gear change was very fast ... a quick slap and thats it 2nd gear 100mph into 1st gear just like that

@TTT-wl7ek Год назад

I’ve never thought about a Sporto before but that was really interesting!! Well done 👍🏻

@OutlawGarage Год назад

Glad you liked it!

@rodoredas Год назад

Nice to see another Sporto going strong, had my 75 Emerald Green Metallic for almost 20 years now, certainly underrated, don’t forget the fun you can have with left foot braking. I’ve got a 3.0 manual as well prefer the 2.7 Sporto really. Cheers

@OutlawGarage Год назад

Right on! Thanks for sharing 👍

I had a 77 Emerald Green Metallic Targa sporto! Now have a lavender metallic 928

@Gazza2485 Год назад

@SpencerF6 Год назад

That seemed press on more than ok when he put his foot down. I've always thought of these as just an auto when in fact it's more a clutchless manual. There's a lot more participation than a standard auto. It's definitely opened my eyes up watching this. 😀 And yes, that colour looks great with all of the silver trim. Looks superb.

@OutlawGarage Год назад

It was a real eye opener and not at all what I expected from a Sporto, I don’t think these cars get the appreciation they deserve

@JoJoJoker 8 месяцев назад

The Sportomatic is not an automatic. That’s why it’s so cool. The benefits of a manual and an automatic in one package.

@stevehill8512 Год назад

I have a Karmann Ghia which had a similar transmission called an Automatic Stickshift, unfortunately it became so troublesome and temperamental because of all the various components, microswitches, torque converter, control valve etc that I swapped it out and converted to manual but when it did work it was great fun!

@OutlawGarage Год назад

The Porsche system is very similar to the VW system. The trick is to use it regularly otherwise they seem to build up contact resistance and then the problems start. Teesaan drives it a lot and that really helps with the cooper contacts. I have to say I was really impressed, it zipped along and the shifting was really cool.

@@OutlawGarage they all used the Saxomat System from Fichtel&Sachs.

Genuinely a great gearbox, so much fun! What are you driving now?

@trickyotoole3542 6 месяцев назад

hi there i drove both a 1975 911s sportamatic ... i was doing 100mph in 2nd gear and hit a bump on a deresticted road and it went into first gear at 100mph. It locked up bent every valve but continued to go dead straight still alive """ after that drove 911 carera turbo raced moterbikes in melb on popular studley park boulevard road coming out at the papermill. both cars war awsome.My family owned a toyota dealership in nunawading fixing the 911s cost a lot..

@OutlawGarage 5 месяцев назад

Wow that seems like an electrical issue with the shifter, very odd though. Please drop me a message on Instagram outlawgarage2013 👍👍

@trickyotoole3542 5 месяцев назад

Yes 911s best car i ever drove able to give motor bikes a hard time on that studly park bendy road. back let slide and power out sticks like on tracks. we owned eastburn toyota nunawading had lots of cars to drive. Love your sporto,, thx for the memories . Your the first guy to see evan talking about that car .i am in byron bay now.

Thanks for the support 👍

Hitting a BIG bump in the road might cause the stick to move a little, which would only cause the clutch to separate, not change gears. You'd have to make a concerted effort to move the lever so far that you change gears. I suspect you inadvertently hit the lever during the bump. Owned and raced a 1976 911S Sporto targa in Ice Green Metallic for many years.
