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

Is it true that the tiptronic shift on the 986 in many case happen to be not working/functioning? The normal automatic gear shift is working just fine. How much does it cost to fix it? Thank you.

POST 2Original post

Never heard of it happening. What exactly is broken?

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

just modify my question. Sorry for the confusion.

POST 4Original post

sounds like you are having a problem with the manual mode on the tip? Might need to describe the problem in more detail. Either way, I've never had a prob and haven't heard of any problems with manual mode vs. regular automatic mode.

POST 5Original post

When you push the gear shifter to the manual shift position, does the dash light show it's in manual mode?

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

The dash light show manual mode when push the gear shifter to the manual shift position. Could it be something wrong with the mechanical part of the transmission. I am worried that the cost of fixing it would be expensive.

POST 7Original post

Quotes source post: 447222

It could be a problem of the Tip ECU not sensing it is in "M."

POST 8Original post

Have you checked the fluid level? When was the last time you changed the filter and fluid? Could be a solenoid valve. A86.00 Tiptronic -99 A86.05 00- A86.20 Switch Unit Solenoid Valve Pressure Regulator 00-
