986 Tip has a different manufacturer (ZF) than that of the 996 tip (Mercedes for the 996 turbo... and I THINK the 996 too)... the tip in the 986 is the same model as is found in many audi's, vw, and etc... I can get you the tranny info, but I don't have it with me right now...


So... no you can not intermix parts between the three....

HOWEVER your bigger problem is that the 986 tranny is in the different direction than any 996 tip...

My only guess for you is to call up Level10 performance... they do tip tranny upgrades for Audi guys who run massive turbos on tip cars...


My 986 is a tip, and I have a 3.6 in my car... only I know of... but I can tell you that Im still throwing codes in my tranny that I have no idea how to fix... tranny holds the power, but it does scare me... your best bet has to be to do like I am doing... go get a 6-speed from a 986S...
