Poll for Tip Transmission Longevity crossreferenced with Tip Maintenan

[Panzerkampfwagon]

OK, heres a little poll:

If you're a tip owner, tell us:

1) How many miles your car has on it

2) Any tip problems

3) Your tip maintenance history

I'm trying to correlate tip maintenance with tip failures.

Thanks guys (and gals)!

1) 44,000 km

2) sometimes for no apparent reason, a tip emergency light comes on and goes off again in a few secs. cars drives like nothing happened.

3) new owner, plan to change atf, all of it, and check electrical stuff/wiring

I have a 2006 997S.

It has 52,000 miles.

No problems at all. It still shifts like new.

I had the fluids changed at 49,000 miles. It took the

factory mechanics twice as long to do it. They have to run

the car and change gears before they top it off.

MY03 Boxster

purchased with 54K miles sept 2007

1. 73k plus

2.

a) at 64k = bad leak due to front pump bushing seizure on T/C hub (replaced front pump and

remanfactured T/C)

B) at 73k = leak not as bad as (a) still working on the problem. most likely replace or remanfacture

T/C and replace Seal.

3. unkown before 54K (1st owner)

One suggestion: I would also ask about driving/shifting habits, how often use M vs D mode?

my driving habits . 99% M mode

[xflyboyx]

sorry did not mean to have the emoticon , I guess b ) is the text equivalent
