Daniel Joseph Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 I've just skimmed this thread, so apologies if I'm repeating anything said already: A few years ago I noticed that the Tiptronic box in my 987 had become rather sluggish, with a noticable and unnerving hesitation when pulling off from almost stationary, for example entering a roundabout. I posted an enquiry on another Porsche forum and got the usual doom mongers telling my my box was f**ked. Then somebody posted this: "Take it out for thirty minutes and drive it like you stole it, that'll fix it." Well, I did and it did! Apparently, the box had "learnt" my rather lazy driving style and had responded accordingly. The thirty minute thrash sorted it out. Worth a try before spending any money. ☺ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to sound like a scratched record, but if you disconnect the battery for 10 minutes it wipes any memory the gearbox controller has of you driving Miss Daisy and reverts to a factory preset when the battery is reconnected.
