Thommo66 Posted 28March Report Share Posted 28March I have a '97 993 tiptronic which I've owned for a few years and never had any issues with the transmission. Recently had a service at PCM and all good reports, no red flags. Yesterday I was driving in auto/D mode for the first 5 min following an initial 30min trip, then parked for a couple of hours and all of a sudden it would not shift up out of 3rd gear and remained revving around 3000rpm while ~85km/hr. I tried shifting it across to manual and manually shifting up and down but nothing changed. Stuck in 3rd. It did shift back down, when in normal drive mode again when I slowed down and found a place to pull over where I could safely park and turn the car off. I started it back up again after a minute or so and everything seemed to go back to normal. Anyone had any similar experiences out of the blue in a tip 993 ? Any ideas on what the root cause might be and how to remedy other than taking it back to PCM to be checked out ? I have not refilled anything since it had a major service around a month ago.
