Why must the engine come out?

Optical TDI

What's TU and CP? I'm guessing CP is customer pay.

time units

from what i remember porsche book time units are 100 TU = 1 hour, but i think the poster converted these to real time for us

No offense to our Tip friends but, i'm glad I don't own an automatic anything.

Well, except for my toothbrush.

Tippy

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.

Like htny said- why must the engine come out of a 2002+ tip to change the ims?

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?
