I'm not sure I quite understand what you're asking but, no, Tiptronic does not mess up your transmission - as long as you use it correctly.

Car manufactures always put transmissions in that have no R&D and are proven to mess up your car....

Like totally, dude.

blehh sorry i sound like a retard to u >.<





my friend is like telling me about how tiptronic will mess up ur car


but im having a hard time believing him....

Tiptronic is Porsche's version of a paddle shifted automatic transmission. If you are concerned about using the semi-manual override feature that most newer automatics have; there is no reason for concern. Most don't allow you to over-rev the car anyway. DSG is a different animal again but you still don't have anything to worry about.

Not this again.

Why do people think that Engineers design things with features that might break it?

Does this make sense to you?

:cool:

your friend is an idiot, sorry.

Yea.. I nvr shift into 6th gear, because 6th breaks your engine and your transmission, 5th too.

i believe vw considers tiptronic the manual shift gate. the specs say dsg with tiptronic and sport mode

i start the car in 4th just to keep the engine at low revs longer....Dont believe everything you hear and only half of what you see...
