So, further to my last Tip thread.....

[bull996]

...here is another question.

We all know that manual cars gearboxes have serviceable parts, eg they need clutches, and sometimes syncros and the like.

Do tip tronics need these kind of thing? There is a few cars out there that have needed new gearboxes (manuals), indeed, my last 996 needed a new gearbox. Are the tippy tronics reliable?

[Pugley]

From my own experience the Tip box is reliable but it does benefit from a full fluid change a little more often than Porsche recommend. This involves removing the bottom plate and cleaning properly as per the service schedule.

[Callughan]

Very reliable and strong(can handle more power)

Recommended tiptronic oil change at 12 years or 96000miles.

No harm in changing sooner.

Is the box the same in all models such as boxaters Carreras and turbos? Or is the turbo one hugely different?
