Hi all. new member hear with my first 911! Love the car , but today out having a little fun I was doing about 35 and pushed on the fun pedal and the rpm and boost started to climb then all of a sudden it hit the rev limiter and no tranny!! No bangs, just no gears as if it was in neutral! I came coasting to a stop and just about 10mph the gear indicator lights came back on in forth and the tranny was back! So I left it in auto mode and started making my way home, just before heading home I hit the boost again and it did the same thing, no gears in auto or tiptronic. Coasted down again and it came back. Once on my street I put it in manual hit the boost and no issues!!! Anyone ever experience this?? Also noticed a 3/4 inch rubber hose (not wet at all hanging down near the exhaust. It's very dark at this point so I tried to follow the hose back but really can't see where it comes from or where it came off! Any input would be awesome!!

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.

Can't say for sure, but I think it's designed to work like that. Not to criticize, but you shouldn't be hitting the rev limiter. Our cars power curve max's at around 5500 rpm. I ALWAYS drive in manual mode and when I want max acceleration I hit the button at around 4500 rpm. The small delay in the shift makes it shift at around 5500 rpm, ideal spot. You're potentially doing a lot of damage to your $20K engine, stop hitting the rev limiter.
Thank you but I think you misunderstood! As I applied gas the boost came on and as it was building all of the red indicator light went out and under throttle the car hit the rev limiter because I now had to gears. I was as if the car was shifted into neutral! Then as I coasted down to pull over thinking about who to call to come get me the transmission engaged the red indicators came back on( in 4th) downshifted and I started making my way home! Tried to hit boost again , same result, once the trans came back this time I put it in tiptronic, hit it again built boost transmission was fine ???
^^+1 The rubber hose hanging near the exhaust could be the coolant overflow hose. Drops down from the coolant tank, left side, behind left rear wheel, usually around #1 coil pack. It is open on the end and does not connect to anything.
Clearly you have a problem.. 1st step, have the fluid level checked 2nd step. have the trans fault codes read (will need a better tool than just a OBDII code reader eg. Durametric, PIWIS )
