Read evidence and context
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.

Suggestion
In MY02 they started using the TT Tiptronic (model A96/50) for the added HP output of the 3.6 liter engine.
Leading evidence: 'Use tt tiptronic (model a96/50)' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Use tt tiptronic (model a96/50)' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
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.

I have a 2002 C2 Tip and have heard there is a software change to the Tiptronic control unit, and another for the ECU (engine control unit). Does anyone know anything about this?
There is a TSB for torque converter lockup problems for cars produced before October 2002. The TSB number is: 6/02 3701 Tiptronic Transmission Noises.
It is a new control unit which includes software. If you are having problems then you should talk to your dealer.
Jerry,
No, the TSB is only for MY02 and newer cars. The Tiptronic in MY02 is quite different from earlier Carrera models. In MY02 they started using the TT Tiptronic (model A96/50) for the added HP output of the 3.6 liter engine.
Hey Loren, this doesn't apply to the 996TT does it? Thanks..

Yup... the TT TSB is:
TSB 5/02 3701 (dated 2/14/2003)
Tiptronic control unit adaption of the torque converer lockup.
and it applies to TT cars As of MY01.
I'll send it to you via email...
Thanks Loren you rule.

The tip transmission hesitation that I've complained about before seems less pronounced when I step on it a little more forcefully.
I've noticed that if when starting off in 2nd with a moderate jab, the 2 - 3 shift happens in that same 2700 rpm range, effectively giving a good reason for the brief hiccup.
Does Porsche publish the tip shift maps?
