Wow, not true!!!!
All times are warranty. Multiply by 1.5 to get a customer pay $ amount.
996 Manual gearbox r&r = 3.50 TU (5.25 Customer Pay)
996 up to 2001 tiptronic r&r = 6.50 TU (9.75 Customer Pay)
996 2002 and up tiptronic r&r(engine must come out too) = 9.10 TU (13.70 CP)

Tips have clutch packs (mulitple fibers and steel clutch disk sandwiched together). They are activated by fluid pressure driving a piston within each clutch pack sandwiching the clutch disk tightly similar to how a pressure plate engages a manual clutch. They are wet (with ATF) versus a dry clutch powering a manual. Even though they are wet type and substantially smaller in diameter, they are normally far stronger than the single manual dry clutch regarding torque handling.

True enough - but my point was it is impossible to do this in a Tip, I didn't mean that over rev's would lead to IMS issues, but of course we all know it can't help either. I've seen all sorts of theories as to the 'why' part of IMS failures - I believe it's fate really. How do you say, 'Do you feel lucky punk' in German?
