boxster tiptronic vs boxster S tiptronic transmission ?
Hi All,
I am trying determine if there is a difference in gear ratio between the boxster and boxster S tiptronic transmission.
Or do they both share the same setup except for the tiptronic ECU ?
Please help...thanks
James

Hi Brian,
So that means, even if i upgraded my 2.5 engine to 3.4 but retained my 2.5 tiptronic transmission, the top speed of the boxster S would still be higher due to the final drive ratio?
thanks

I have been on travel for some time and just noticed this information. I can't exactly answer your question - but will relay information from the 2002 owners manual.
For 2002 the gear ratios between the Tip in the Boxster S and the Tip in the Boxster (non S) are exactly the same with the exception of the final drive. The final drive in the Boxster S is significantly higher then the standard Boxster. Ironically both Tips are listed as Tiptronic S and I am uncertain whether that is correct.
------- Boxster ---- Boxster S
1 ------ 3.66 : 1 ---- 3.66 : 1
2 ------ 2.00 : 1 ---- 2.00 : 1
3 ------ 1.41 : 1 ---- 1.41 : 1
4 ------ 1.00 : 1 ---- 1.00 : 1
5 ------ 0.74 : 1 ---- 0.74 : 1
Final Drive ---- 4.02 : 1 ---- 3.73
kph/1000 ---- 39 ---- 42
rpm
