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.

7 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I was wondering if the automatic transmission on the 996 are pretty strong or if anyone knew of any issues with them... I might be looking to get a 2000-2002 sometime this year and it has to be an automatic car... and Im just trying to do a bit of research for when the time comes.

POST 2Original post

I've heard of no chronic issues with the Porsche automatic transmission.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

thats good to hear... thanks bro

POST 4Original post

My mechanic wants to get an auto tranny 996, which says allot for the it.

POST 5Original post

For what it is worth, I have a 2003 996 with tiptronic and have put over 43,000HARD miles on the clock and run the ever-loving shi! out of it and have ZERO issues with RMS or any other types of leaks.

POST 6Original post

I use my '99 996 with 42K miles as a daily driver. I got it because I have a five mile commute to work in traffic. There is one major problem with it. I have to pretend it is a manual with my hand cupped over the gear select lever when I am at a stop light next to another auto enthusiast lest they think I am less a man I have had no RMS issues and have owned the care since 12k miles.

POST 7Original post

on the 99-01 trannys i've seen the pan gaskets leak, 3rd gear clutch packs worn out causing the transmission to slip and the torque converter seal (in the torque converter) break causing a slight slip crusing at highway speeds and on the 2002-2004 i've seen hard shifting and some rattling noise that can be fixed with a new transmission control unit or valve body. if i had a choice to buy an auto 996 it would be have a 2002 and up.
