Got in the 996 C2 tipronic this morning and it seemed a bit sluggish compared to last night and i notice that is seems to have entered a 'limp' mode and you cannot change gear manually (even with shifting stick to 'm').

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 everyone- Got in the 996 C2 tipronic this morning and it seemed a bit sluggish compared to last night and i notice that is seems to have entered a 'limp' mode and you cannot change gear manually (even with shifting stick to 'm'). Engine seems fine but its very un-responsive, it changes gears OK in tipronic but nothing in manual ! any ideas ??? was hoping to use it over xmas but not looking good Happy xmas to all as well

POST 2 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Really bizarre - car is fine now ! must have re set itself or similar ! Angus R

POST 3Original post

May be a dirty contact in the multi-function switch on the side of the gearbox. Moving the lever back and forward a couple of times might have cleared it. Anyway, you can now go out and enjoy your Xmas run!
