This is not a probability of success.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I currently have a 3.2 Carrera and have the opportunity to purchase a '99 996 with @ 80k. It is a tiptronic and it slips in top gear, but other gears are fine. Is there anything else I should look out for, other than the RMS?

POST 3Original post

front fenders, bumper and lights for convertion to 02+ mine has now about 69K and it still goes strong!! tip does a great job....is the slipping really slipping or your foot playing the gaspedal to much??

POST 4Original post

on a 99 rms leak, but on tiptronic trans car that slips i would suspect the rms leak is more likely the transmission pump leaking out the fluid they tend to do that about 80-90k miles spark plug tubes leak coolant tank leak cam cover leaks Id plan on a new trans if its slipping 10k give or take installed

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

All I know it that the tranny slips in 5th. I haven't driven the car, but was told that by the service manager. Other than that, there is no RMS leak or anything else wrong with the car. As for the tranny, I was told $9500 from the dealer.
