Why would anyone do this, anyway? This car will sell for more money than one of our Stage II Track Performer engines. Just come get in line, take advantage of the proper engine being built exactly for your car, desires and application.
These offerings evolved again in late 2017, details of those changes are coming when we finally update the Flat 6 site in a few months. Its taking us a while to get the site, and marketing up to speed, as Mr. Raby cared noting about that.
To note, one reason the engine in this car cost more is due to the fact that it had experienced a failure, so the owner had to buy core components from our core bank. This is why you don’t wait till it breaks, to call us.

Since much of the car is still stock, how well will items such at the tip hold up with the much higher torque and hp? Are there driveline components that should be replaced with stronger components if the car is only going to be used on the street, but used aggressively? How close to the limits is this engine pushing the rest of the car?

We’ve never seen a 996 tiptronic tranny fail.. They hardly even have faults. About the only thing they ever need is linkage cables replaced.
#22
from my understanding the 996.1 tip is made by ZF and the .2 cars by MB... is this correct? Are the .1 tips less reliable than the later tip tranny?

All the tiptronic transaxles are robust.. No matter who made them.We don't see faults, or failures from either unit, even at exceptional high power output levels.

Ended up being a very entertaining saga... for us. This former owner managed to go through two tips. Now, whether it was the transmission failing or the car failing the transmission we have never gotten to the bottom of as the car now has a new owner who is not on the site.

While anything can fail, and you will always fine 1 or 2 examples, the problems with the tips are few and far between.. Certainly much less known than the 2nd gear pop out issue with the manual gearboxes.
We have 3-4 of these tiptronic transaxles that we can't even give away.. No one needs them, as they don't fail.

I think time will tell that one was either a misdiagnosis, a wiring issue, or human error. It didn't have any mechanical symptoms.

The ZF 5hp19 is the Tiptronic automatic transmission used in 996 from 98-03 and in the 986S from 00-03, the 6M/T( also known as G96 and G86) is the six speed manual trans that was used in the 996 from 98-04 and in 986S from 2000-2004.

Thats what i thought the M/T meant so you were comparing a tip to a manual. So did i understand you that the tip has a lower failure rate percentage wise than the manual?
Was the tip used in 2003 and later a better transmission than the ZF?
