Post below your's is kinda what I was lookin' for (thanks laphan).

now.. brace yourselves... stupid question comin' hard and fast...

my tiptronic doesn't have a clutch right? maybe a torque converter? if i got my RMS leak taken care of, should i have them do anything to 1 of those 2 above items while it's out?
you have a flex plate and torque converter instead of clutch system. You have to remove the transmission (which is 90% of the work) to replace the RMS. IMS is just underneath the RMS, I would replace it at the same time with LN unit. Also, I heard some trans oil pump issue with earlier tiptronic transmission (I read somewhere that porsche released a TSB for it) which is accessible with trans removed from the car. I replaced the trans input seal because I have no plan on removing transmission again.
