Default How reliable in the Tiptronic Transmission

Anyone have to rebuild one yet? How many miles are they good for?

Thanks

I've read past post that the 993 tiptronics are very reliable. There were only two mentions of tip failures. One had to do with a bad internal solenoid. I have 67000 miles on mine and it is flawless. Mine is a daily driver and I shift it manually unless I am stuck in bumper to bumper traffic on the 101 Freeway.

Often referred to by Porsche techs as "bullet proof" - have yet to hear of a failure and there is little on this board to support anything other than the fact that they seem to hold up very well.

My mechanic tells me there bullet proof. I had one in my 964 loved it. Only drove with it in the manual mode. But missed shifting, I mean really shifting. One of the main reasons I moved to a 993 with a 6 spd.
