What is this fault likely to be?

Gear changes are smooth (better when car warm) but car does not like to idle in drive/gear. Idles better when put into neutral.

Is this an engine idling fault or internal gearbox fault?

Thanks.

I love 242HP sleepers. 🤪

How many sets of lights does it take a $229k Carrera S to learn? 😂 UPDATE: Cayman S, M3, B4 now added to the list.

Check all your vacuum hose to make sure theres no leaks and the tube is in good condition, also your gearbox oil level
I read it on FACEBOOK so it must be true
