Well, I am going to add my to 2 cents worth here. I believe most failures come from Porsches with standard transmission. Why the failure, the Tip's produce less stress on the back of the engine as where as on a standard you would have more stress from everyday driving. That's why clutches wear out. I chose my pre-owned Boxster with a TIP just because of the cost of replacing a flywheel, disk, pressure plate and release bearing. I really enjoy my Boxster with a TIP. On the back side I also had a few words with a couple a Porsche mechanics here in Orlando about the IMS issue. Since the first Boxster they think that maybe one Boxster had an engine failure.
