Tom Pepper is infamous around these parts

Third gear detonation...

2nd gear pop out issues...

type II over revs...

clutch failure...

Yup, those poor emasculated bastards with those wussey Tiptronic transmissions are to be pitied.

No way, maybe for a 5speed Boxter, not for a 6speed turbo tranny, that is unless there is a pile of junk inside.

Better yet, if you can find a used GT2 tranny, you'll get the LSD included and it will work fine with an AWD car.

I have not fixed it yet. If I sell it I will just replace third with a stock third gear. If I keep it I am going full Porsche motorsports gears. Just have not figured this out yet. No one has stepped up with the cash yet so who knows.
