Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

In my case I ran the engine in the car without the transmission that's why I needed it reset.

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.

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

POST 1Original post

My 2005 tiptronic boxster shifts late/ rough for the first few minutes of cold start. Manual shifts seem unaffected and are as expected smooth. I live in Florida, so never any freezing conditions, however, does seem more noticeable during the colder months. The car runs perfectly otherwise and the fluid and filter have been replaced DIY with no change in behavior using Pentosin ATF. Are there software updates for the transmission? TSB's? I would love to remedy this to make a great car perfect! This is not the way a top tier luxury sports car should shift. I've owned the car for just over a year and have put 14,000 happy miles on her. She is now just shy of 103k. Your input is greatly appreciated. :thanks::thanks::thanks::thanks:

POST 2Original post

Hi i had the same experience on my Cayman S 2007 and was told to disconnect the battery for 15 minutes and then reconnect. Thos erases the programs of the tiptronic memory and my car was as good as new again after that best of luck Christopher

POST 3Original post

I disconnected the battery when I added bluetooth but not sure how long the battery was disconnected. I'll give it a try this weekend and see. Thank you.

POST 4Original post

I know when I was working in the 2004 996 c4s the only way to reset the trans was durametric or Porsche . I had it disconnected for 2 days while I finished the work and it was still in limp mode. Reset at dealer(friends with techs) and it was instantly out of limp mode. In my case I ran the engine in the car without the transmission that's why I needed it reset.

POST 5Original post

Its definitely not in limp mode. It will shift through all gears. It's just very notchy and slow the first few minutes after a cold start. I've read on various posts that this is normal, and I believed that at first but I'm starting to have doubts. It's certainly something I could live with, I'd just rather not. If I ever find myself at the dealer, this issue will definitely be on the list. Thank you for your input!

Change the transmission fluid and filter? There are multiple options for tiptroknic fluid out there ...
