Tranny types: Are the tiptronics less susceptible to IMS failure than the manuals?

and...

Driving habits: If you run em hard, are they more susceptible to IMS failure? I would think so.


btw... I have a 98 Boxster 2.5 w/tiptronic, and drive it like an old man (slow n easy) and always at the posted speeds. It drives my girlfriend nuts that I'm not at least doing 10 over, lol.
