Fluid Upgrade for 997 Tiptronic Geabox


Recommended Posts

I have recently heard that there is an upgrade tiptronic gearbox oil/fluid available in the market which should give a better response for the Tip box. Does this really work? Have anyone tried before?

I am interested to learn as I have realized that the tip at high revs seems not responding as good when compares to mid to low range revs.

Thx

"sport" mode increases the shifting pressure in the tip, maybe this is what should have ( I don't have sport Chrono on mine)

Pressing the Sport Chrono switch when the gearshift lever is in shift gate “D”

boosts the basic gear-changing map. This ups the engine speeds for gearchanging

and renders gear-changing sportier by shortening the shifting times.

The reduction in shifting times results from faster filling of the clutches with

oil (response time) and a higher oil pressure level when performing the shift

operation. These measures lend the shift operations a more dynamic and

noticeably sportier character. The shift points are then adjusted between this

boosted basic gear-changing map and the sport gear-changing map according

to the present driving style. System downshifts are initiated at lower

acceleration and higher speeds (in comparison with when the Sport Chrono

switch is off) to increase agility.

Thanks for your info. In this case, I think I better stick with the OEM oil. Possibly change the oil during my next service which should improve the performance.
