I was looking at using the 996 c2 auto transaxle for this build.

You'll have a lot of trouble getting the tip trans to work - it uses CANbus to talk to the stock ecu (not motec).
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.

Hello,
I'm looking for some help on the 996 c2 auto transaxle. I'm building a street buggy powered by a nissan sr20 with an auto transaxle. I was looking at using the 996 c2 auto transaxle for this build. I believe it has a trans controller and torque converter. My questions are does the trans controller operate independently of the engine ecu? Is the trans controller standalone? I don't need the paddle shift function it will just run as a regular automatic. In that case will it work without the trans controller? Are there different versions of this transaxle that would be better for this type of build? Maybe some years worked in conjunction with the ecu and some didn't. If the trans controller does work in conjunction with the engine ecu and they can't be separated, does anyone know of a third party standalone trans controller that would work? Are there any Porsche auto transaxles that do not run any electronic control?
Thanks for the help
Hi All,
I new to this forum and thanks for the welcome.
I have a project where my 996 3.4L Auto was converted into a 3.6Turbo / Tiptronic.
The engine is managed by a Motec M800 after market ECU. The engine came from a race car, it runs well and is rated at 650HP.
My problems is that we are struggling to get the auto turbo gearbox to work?
The auto gearbox has been converted to a 2 wheel drive.
Has anyone done a similar project to this before or know of someone who has?
Your help would be much appreciated.
Regards,
Darsey.
Wow would love the hear more about the swap!
You'll have a lot of trouble getting the tip trans to work - it uses CANbus to talk to the stock ecu (not motec). To get it to work you'd have to emulate all canbus messages that the transmission controller is looking for, which is a ton of work (you'd have to log all the tcu traffic at first to even find out what they are).
You're far better off converting the car to manual.
