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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

i met a guy that has a 99 porsche. (BTW, i am a 911/930 guy. i know nothing about the new cars). he told me his car shifts very quickly up to 5th in automatic mode, but it works fine in the manual mode. he took the car to a local shop and they put it on a machine and they told him he needs a new tranny for $10k. do you think this is reasonable as far as an accurate diagnosis and a good price or should he go somewhere else for another opinion?

POST 2Original post

Not sure where his problem is?? The automatics shift to 5th as soon as possible if you are driving "normally" in auto. When it is in manual mode it will hold a gear until you shift it.

POST 3Original post

If you happen to come back to this have him disconnect the battery to reset the "adaptive" trans memory.
