Porsche 992 911 Manual transmission details 

Finally... you’ve achieved the impossible. Noooo one else has a MT 992 on the tube

I’ve been driving manual transmission Porsches for 40+ years as my daily drivers and I’ll never switch to the PDK.......and, I’m now 75 years old! I just don’t want to lose the feeling of being a part of my car, knowing that I’m controlling it and not the other way around. P.S. I’m now driving a 991.2........Miami Blue w/Graphite Blue leather interior.

"Stop dating your cousin and get a manual transmission" ... too funny. That's another T-shirt slogan.

And suddenly with the manual, these engines sound way better. The way the tone changes when he is accelerating away from the offramp. Just nice

As a 56 yr old man, who bought his first Porsche in high school in 1981- This is my favorite video and favorite Porsche. THANK YOU for starting my weekend off properly.

After driving a manual for 6 years, I was shocked how much I enjoyed the PDK. The Sports steering wheel with the paddles + the PDK is shifting ecstasy. Pulling those paddles makes me giddy in the twisties. On the dragon, the paddles = most fun I've ever had driving. On the track, in the canyons, that's where the PDK offers plenty of driving involvement and frankly, makes you a better driver. This is one of the few subjects where I think newer is better. But it is true, when driving around town, the PDK is uneventful.

I expect Porsche AG sigh with relief when they hear your approval of their work Nick.

"Here in Fahrenheit land." Hilarious. Always get enthusiastic when I see a new "Clip From Nick".

Best anti theft device.

It’s 11:30 pm in australia and I need to go to bed but I can make time for Nick reviewing the 992 manual

So I'm just supposed to sit here and act like I wasn't waiting for part 2 of the options video? Lol. Manual transmission will hold me over well though. No worries.

I dunno how much Porsche pays you to review their cars, but you are worth every penny or even more! They way you present all those futures around manual is astonishing. This was pure joy to watch!

Nick I love how you added prices when showing the options. It really puts it into prospective, Thanks for your videos.

Yayyyy thanks Nick for posting what seems to be the first 992 manual review :)

This car is amazingly amazing and I'm amazingly broke

Nick, I always get excited when I get an email notification that you've dropped a video. Please keep doing what you're doing. I have only driven a Porsche once in my life and that was way back in 1987 when I was 24. It was a Guards Red 944 Turbo with a manual transmission. I will never forget what the salesperson said to me. I guess some people are nervous about driving a Porsche, so he said, "Keep one thing in mind. No matter what you do you can't hurt this car." I took him at his word and it was an amazing experience. The handling, the braking, both as legendary as I'd heard. The clutch was smooth, progressive, and light-not grabby at the friction point. The shifter was magical. It was the easiest to drive manual I've ever driven and actually fun. So much fun I got it up to 110 MPH (which felt like 35 MPH) on a local expressway-but that and the California Highway Patrol officer with a radar gun is another story. ;-)

No Nick, we thank YOU for putting this video out! You’ve gotta be one of the first if not the first to do a video on one of these. The split second cut at the discussion about the PDK was much appreciated😂😂

Agreed, manual is the only way. We are on our third Cayman (987 & 2x 718) and all have been manual. The first 718 manual was ordered by mistake by the dealer as here is Australia most people opt for the PDK also. We were glad that there was one available. The second one is much better optioned with sport chrono and sports exhaust and is a truely wonderful car to drive. Great video.

Easily the best video about the 992 with manual transmission. Nice job Nick. The two videos following this were awesome too.

Loving the 992 and finally the manual has arrived. As amazing as the PDK is, I would never get one. Learned to drive and took my license test in the 80’s in a manual, have loved it ever since! My dream car has always been a manual 911 and as I’m finally getting closer to my goal I’m so happy to see Porsche keeping the tradition alive!!!

I think I've found my dream car

MT is so much more fun. I’d rather have MT in any sports car.

Excellent review. I like the fact that you demonstrated also the 7th gear "length" - this is something most of other reviewers wouldn't do. I may be bit weird, but find the info very relevant. Thank you!

I always love your videos. Such a fantastic video this time. Thanks for all the effort making this. It’s a beautiful manual.

Nick, I stayed up 6 days straight for your next video and this is what you give me? I only stay subscribed here to punish myself for past sins.

I admit I dated my cousin with a 991.1 and a Cayman GTS - and I loved it! But couldn't agree more. Went from a 991.2 C2S manual to a "T" manual. Was never that happy with the long throws on the "S". Though I lost 50 HP switching to the "T", like you've always said, that motor is probably more enjoyable. And the shorter, more crisp throws on the "T" manual have brought back the joy of driving a 911! This one is a keeper! Cheers.

Nick, your reviews are gold! Thanks!

Love your reviews. A little irreverent and completely believable and enjoyable. Thank you!

I feel there's a new 992 is coming for you Nick:) Hopefully this time you will get one that works and won't let you down like the previous 2....

😆 no dating cousins here

Hi Nick, I took delivery today on my 2024 manual 911 Carrera 2S in Guards Red with black sport checkered seats and red accent stitching. I configured the car exactly as you recommended including not choosing the sports exhaust option. You were a great help and your videos were invaluable in my options selections. Thanks so much. George

Your comment regarding the red and black combination giving a nice match is exactly why I ended up with a carmine red/ black C4GTS while I was looking for a GT silver 991.2. I love the color combo. W.r.t. manual transmission I agree, although the sound symphonies going fast through your gears in a PDK transmission is also something else ! Thanks for your videos: I love watching them!

i test drove one a few months ago. The only thing it needed was a manual transmission. Thank you, Porsche

Nick - thanks for an excellent review. Watching your channel over the last few years was a big part of the reason I bought a 911 last year - I have an 992 Carrera S with PDK in exactly the red/black colour scheme you tested and have already put 5000 miles on it so far - totally love it. But my next 911 might well be a 7MT...

Just discovered your channel a couple of weeks back - superb combo, cars, choppers and dogs etc. Excellent !!!

Offtopic: those clear rearlights are amazing! They look so cool. Never expected that.. now I need to see them in low light and night. Because I love the look of the whole red stripe at the back of the car. Fantastic video again Nick! Thanks

The manual transmission, way cooler than dating your cousin

That 992 looks lovely in that spec! I've got a 997.2 Carrera with a factory short shift manual, even got the carbon stick, it's perfect! Manual just suits the Carreras and GT3, couldn't have one any other way.

Thanks for the video, I love how you show the beauty of the manual transmission! I agree the car in Guards red looks fantastic.

My favorite video. Best one I've seen in a long time!

Great video. I normally don’t like Guards Red as much as the Carmine Red because Guards red is slightly more orangy/red...but with the blacked out trim and details, makes this Guards red look more like a true red.

Great review as always, you just can’t beat a Guards Red 911 👍👍👍

Really enjoyed your video and good on Porsche for providing such an up to date transmission that customers like and and enjoy using. Four out of five of my cars are manual and our children have learned to drive only Manual cars so far.

You were at your comedic best in this video! Great stuff!

This one frame at 10:57 made me laugh

Time for the How I configured my 992 manual vid Nick! Expecting a 3h coverage.

First time watching one of your videos and you’re legitimately entertaining, awesome job, man

Awesome and very detailed video! I was missing your great quality Porsche videos 🤙🏼

15th. Great to see another video Nick. I’m a fan of PDK over manual. I have a 992S and love the PDK. Just get a 992 now Nick you know you want to...the guards red looks stunning. Put in a offer to the dealer. Do it do it

Excellent review of the manual transmission. Should be a required video for 911 purchasing customers explaining the joys of the manual they never realized.

Love the music you have in the videos. Can’t wait for the next video.

What a compelling video! Thanks Nick!

Odd that they haven’t yet offered the manual on the 992 S in Europe yet, only North America. I think the other reason they only offer it in S variant is to avoid a clash with the upcoming T manual.

I have a 2019 VW GLI with a 6 speed manual. Save the manuals!

Ah, Nick, good to see you and your toys, stuffed and otherwise. Always a joy, helped along with a cocktail in hand.

Nick Murray! A Ray of sunshine in this present world of Sh*t. You never fail to make me laugh and brighten up my day. Stay safe Nick.

Props to you Nick for announcing your going 100 MPH on 95 in Connecticut! 😄

Never clicked so fast! Btw bring back the pdk shirt :)

First manual I have seen! And have been on the lookout, so congrats!!

Great review, thank you Nick. I think you might be the first ‘Tuber worldwide with a review of the 992 manual transmission! Even the The Getawayer did not have the pleasure of testing a manual 992, yet. And he’s in Germany, has good contacts @Porsche. Gee mate, what a lovely gearbox the new one is.. your enthusiasm is really contagious (bad word these days, I know). I would buy one without testing one, solely based on what you say and think. Over here in Europe, the manual is finally configurable as of this week. With a whole bunch of new options like new leather combinations and other stuff. Even the steering column in leather is back! Once again, thanks Nick and #StaySafe, especially in Connecticut! (and stay current on your PPL) Cheers, Irwin 🤟

Trooper: Red Porsche spotted on the Merritt doing 100 MPH.😳 Dispatcher: No worries it's New Zealand's village idiot.😅😂🤣😭

5:54 you can go from 4th to 3rd!? This transmission is remarkable!

Beautiful car and colour. Thanks Nick

Finally. I’ve been waiting got this

The manual transmission gear lever, the only protrusion men prefer to be shorter... BTW the Carrera S is a turbo car.

"If your wife or boyfriend wants to drive the car",.. LOL of course Nick assumes we all have both.

I bought a new 914/ 2.0 - 5 speed in 1974. Yes, I’m old... Fun car... The throw on that shifter is comparable to a catcher throwing a baseball to the right fielder. It was a workout. The transmission in the 992 looks delicious by comparison. Thanks as always for your wonderfully informative videos.

Awesome video as always Nick. I’m a big fan of the channel myself.

Great video Nick! Thanks for showing us the 7sp, that console looks more like a Porsche now...that Braun shaver was not doing it and will not do it for me...I would add that the launch control feature is a big plus for many, so a PDK is the only way to go...but the cafe stds has played a part...just as the number of 4cylinders in their Lineup.

Writing from Germany....always drove manual - mainly BMW and Porsche´s. Now I am on PDK. It's funny because historically my American friends always had cars with automatic transmissions - we had manuals, now we are all driving PDK´s over here and you drive manuals over there, go figure :)

Amen brother. My 911 997. 1 is manual and I love it. What a joy it was to teach my 16 year old to drive the stick. So much more of a drive.

Your Porsche videos are fantastic. Very enjoyable and informative. I have a 991.1 PDK. I hope to get a 992 manual at some point.

the pdk shirt made me laugh so hard. i froze it right at that moment and my wife gave me a look! lmfao!

So Porsche has finally cracked MX-5 level shifting? 😉

Thanks for covering Porsche's manual transmission. You got one of the top videos on it. 🙏🏿🙏🏿😊😉

Thanks for the review. I’ve been looking for MT 992 review since launched!! Only available from Nick Murray!!

A man and his beloved stick 😀

“It’s so short you can do it with just your wrist”. Hmmmm....

Manual Yay!! Love it! Thanks Nick for the review

Love this car in guards red. Thanks for sharing it. This is the exact Porsche I will be buying.

Kiwi: “Today, everybody is dating their cousin”. Yeah, righto mate

Yes agree with manual, cant wait to test drive one of these 992's some day. But the old 996 still is a fun car. But honestly, what guy with a decent interest for cars cant drive a manual ?

Nice one Nick, 1st manual review I’ve seen 👍🏻

Great video I own a 981 Boxster GTS manual and just love it. Cheers!

You're lucky : it's (still) not available in Belgium :-( I'm really not interested how good de PDK is, you're more connected to the car if you have a manual transmission... Fingers crossed and hope Porsche get some sense and make it available for Belgium/Europe.

I been shopping a base 911 vs a c8, and this whole “manual” thing is making me lean toward spending more for the porsche...

Great video Nick. 👍🏻 well done how to translate the feeling of the manual transmission!

Wow.. this a first look for me and I think it looks great. Sounds like it’s a prefect throw too. Very cool.

The manual transmission in the 991.1 was awful in my opinion....long throws and baulky shifter feel. I heard the made some minor improvements on 991.2 but when I drove it seemed only marginally better ....if at all. Glad to hear that this new gearbox seems to be a return to the great gearbox’s of the past 👍🏻

Is it better than Honda ones? I love Honda manuals, especially older ones, but never driven a manual Porsche to compare.

Sounds like my Up Gti. Good video and a lovely car, thanks.

You are the man! Great review mate 💪🏾

Seriously pay extra for a Porsche sticker on the side that distracts and cheapens the car’s looks.

Hahahah I can’t understand nothing with your texas accent.

Last Year I changed my BMW with a 440i just because it had a manual transmission. I realized afterward I had the 2 power kits included :). I would get a manual transmission on a Porsche as well. Well presented Nick!

Thanks for the great review on the MT 992 💪

Ok now I’m going to get into MY Guards Red manual 911 and take it for a spin. Brilliant video!

Long Live The Manual Gearbox Preservation Society!

you are the coolest Porsche owner I've ever seen

I think it’s awesome that Nick was the first one to review the manual 992.
