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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi - Does anyone have any recommendations for gearbox rebuild specialists - ideally in the Midlands or South West? Especially tiptronic. I have a 2000 C4 996 which has a worsening and nagging problem with what can be described as a 'grinding' noise and a fluctuation in revs +/-100rpm @ about 12-1300rpm. I have had the filter/oil replaced which did reduce the grinding but this has now returned after about 1000miles. It has also developed a slight whining when reversing as well, I'm very keen to get this looked at as starting to reduce the enjoyment now Many thanks in advance if someone can point me in the right direction.

WrighTune in Wallingford, Oxon. Look them up on Facebook. Their website is: http://www.wrightune.co.uk/enginesandtransmissions.html Jerry Patterson

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks Jerry, do you have any experience of using them, specifically gearbox rebuilds? Cheers Paul

POST 4Original post

Paul, If it's any help, I see that Nine Excellence - a reputable Porche Independent in Surrey - offer a Tiptronic 'box diagnostic and rebuild service ( http://www.nineexcellence.com/service/gearbox-builds.html ). The Tipronic is a conventional "slush pump" transmission so you may be able to find someone more local to you who could advise you on the problem you have. Someone like this perhaps http://www.automaticgearbox.co.uk/ Hope you get it sorted. Jeff

POST 5Original post

The 2000 996 uses a ZF transmission, used on lots of Audis, VWs, etc. There isn't anything that a good automatic transmission specialist couldn't handle. I suspect that is what most Porsche specialists would do with a Tiptronic box.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
