"Part of UK, Phone or email. Business contacts". Google fails me. I'm Tiptronic 996 due to age, arthritis and the need foe my non manual driving wife to use and enjoy it. I would like the engine revving in a better range than mindlessly changing up, at sub 2000rpm.Maybe I will learn the switches, but the paddles seem better.

tomo Posted 6February, 2022 Author Report Share Posted 6February, 2022 The bloke in the UK is hard to get hold of, These guys on ebay make them as well. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/304325463031 As far as the tip's gear buttons go there's not much to learn , Wack the gear stick into M use the + to go up a gear or - To go back a gear, 2nd and 3rd gear is really all you need too master for city driving, good luck.

Thanks, I've placed the EBay link you gave me on watch. I will see if I can learn Tiptronic, or leave in D. As I have paddles or +/- on my other self shifters. I may well go paddles. In M I've found the Tiptronic shifting up rather than holding gear even at 6500rpm. Buying an auto gives the impression PO drove it like Miss daisy. tomo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjm Posted 11February, 2022 Report Share Posted 11February, 2022 996 auto’s take off from standstill in 2nd gear, a California smog rule apparently. Makes them feel like Miss Daisy, if you floor it they move off in 1st. tomo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
