Suggestion · Original poster
For use of the steering wheel switches, can one downshift via the switches only if the shifter is put in manual (so a 2 step process if one wants to do a quick downshift via the stick/switch) or will switch use override �A� stick setting?
Leading evidence: 'Use override �a� stick' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Use override �a� stick' (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.

Do newer Tips permit up/down shifting from the floor stick like mine (+ or -) or must one use the steering wheel switches after putting �stick� in M position?
These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

Considering trading up my 964 to a 996. Do newer Tips permit up/down shifting from the floor stick like mine (+ or -) or must one use the steering wheel switches after putting �stick� in M position?
For use of the steering wheel switches, can one downshift via the switches only if the shifter is put in manual (so a 2 step process if one wants to do a quick downshift via the stick/switch) or will switch use override �A� stick setting?
8 seconds.....not 5.
Means that in the D mode a manual shift with the buttons will hold for AT LEAST* 8 seconds before the computer takes back over......*under certain circumstances the computer will delay engaging............like down shifting into a turn or with the breaks applied.....
The Tip S is a VERRRRRRRY slick little unit.
There are some additional functions the modern tiptronic takes care of, for example, if you charge onto an on-ramp with the shifter in D and the car is in third gear, the trans will hold third even if you lift off the throttle. Also, if you brake hard, the trans will downshift for you. The car has accelerometers reading the fore/aft and side-to-side G-forces and if they're "sporting G-forces" the trans will act in a sporting way. Also, if you accelerate hard with the trans in D, then lift off the throttle sharply, the trans will hold the gear instead of upshifting like an ordinary automatic (if you ease off the throttle it will upshift like an ordinary automatic). In fact, in most cases, the modern tiptronic will perform best when simply left in D.
I've read that with the new 911 Turbo with Tiptronic lap times are fastest even for experienced track drivers when the trans is simply left in D. It's hard for most of us (all of us except for maybe Schumacher or Alonso) to beat a modern computer chip and software.
I agre that the Tip started on the Boxsters and 996s are far better than previous versions. My Boxster was a Tip and so is my 996.
I used to autox in M, but I have found that by leaving it in D and down shifting to 1 at the start is the best result. The Tip does take a little time to get used to driving in a performance environment; however, once you get the hang of it it is really good.
