Good day everyone, first post on here (I think), coming from the 996, 944 & 955 side of things on Rennlist.

Anyways, I bought a base 97' 986 Tiptronic from an auction last week...well it arrived today. It was supposed to run & drive, well it runs, but doesn't move but a few inches forward or reverse. I got it for a pretty good deal, in hopes to clean it up, do some minor maintenance and sell it after a bit of use.

So being it is a tiptronic I'm at a bit of a loss. My other Porsche's, hold for the Cayenne's have been manuals. Is this a common failure thing, to not move in drive or reverse?

Any quick fixes you can think of, like a fuse, lock underneath, etc? - Thanks in advance.
