Tiptronic died, diagnose now

[Elmer]

I would recommend going to the Pelican Parts website and looking at the article on drain and refill the Tiptronic. I'm getting ready to do mine and I bought 10 quarts of Pentosin ATF and a filter kit. I think you're low on fluid! The procedure for draining and refilling are fairly lengthy and pretty specific. The car has to be level and COLD to drain all of the ATF. Then refill, start the car to get it into a specific temperature range and continue filling until the 9ish liters are in.

Yes i got the 101 project book, its great!
Pan is already off, filter was done begin of 2018.

Initially i planned on just topping off the oil and see of there is any life left in the gearbox. On another forum people indicate to always do the filter too.

So now i am waiting on the parts to arrive.. but already have the oil.. very tempted to try just the oil With the old filter.. itchy hands overhere

Got the kit in yesterday, today i did all the work and the car actually moved on its own again. However it was super clunky and no reverse. Also the fluid started to piss out the engine side too (seal?)


Looks like the end of the line as a replacement box is just as much as another boxster overhere







Made a video in the hopes to catch a big old smile.. unfortunally not https://youtu.be/YOx6r0XUuLQ
