Hi All,
I have an issue with the Tiptronic Gearbox in my 996.2 Turbo X50 (51,000 miles). I'm wondering if anyone can help work out what's wrong.
In recent months I noticed an occasional jolt from the car when driving in normal traffic. I couldn't pin down what the circumstances were that caused it.
Today I was on a longer journey, travelling at around 30 to 40 mph in traffic on an A-road when the car suddenly lost drive and the revs went sky high. It was as if the car suddenly went into Neutral. I was preparing to pull over when everything went back to normal. Having driven 100 very careful miles home, it hasn't happened again.
I now think both problems are linked and the problem is getting worse.
I would be very grateful for any ideas as to what may be wrong and what I should do next. I know it's a Mercedes gearbox, should I go to a good Indi or would a gearbox specialist be better?
Thanks
David
