About 5 months after I bought our '98 tip for my girl it started slipping in Auto mode. Manual mode was still shifting good. Car had around 100k on it. Had the transmission fluid flushed. About two weeks later had a complete transmission failure. Ended up having the transmission rebuilt, along with replacing the IMS & RMS through a local independent. Total cost around $3600, which I considered a good deal, considering the R&R, rebuild, & IMS replacement.

Okay, thank God I'm bringing it back to the mechanic to repair it now. I can't do without my car. I work an hour away from my home so I need it, and I don't have any other car. Plus, a $3,600 repair would be too much for me, especially considering I bought the car for $7,000. Thankfully, since the mechanic sold it to me with this issue, after he said it didn't have any issues, he's willing to fix the problem for free.
Here's to hoping it all works out well! Fingers crossed.

So an update! I took it back to the mechanic today and he took a look at the transmission to see what was up. He found out that my Clutch Pack was broken. It kept falling out of sync with my transmission, which causes it to go neutral to help save my transmission, and then attempt to reconnect (which caused my bumpy reengaging of my transmission).
All-in-all he said he may need to keep the car for a week to get the part and do the repair but he's doing it for free as well since it was something he says he should have caught when he rebuilt the engine.
So I got to save $500+ and finally have a beautifully working Porsche. I couldn't be happier, even with not having my car for a week.
