New to Tiptronic transmission
 
I have a 2003 S, 23,800 miles, with the auto transmission. I don't want to abuse the transmission due to my ignorance of how to drive it in manual mode. Should I let off the gas when shifting up and down or just hold the accelerator steady?
Any education would be welcome. This is the first Porsche I have owned and I'm still in the "awe" stage of the machine.

The tip won't let you do anything stupid try down shifting to 2nd going 100 and it won't let you haha.

jake's right. it won't let you do anything that would damage the engine or transmission.

if i'm downshifting to pass, i keep my foot on the gas. if i'm downshifting because i'm slowing down i lift.

upshifting i don't lift from the gas.
