tiptronic on cars. - GoFuckYourself.com

Chaldoray · 05-31-2004, 01:14 AM

My friend told me if you use the manual a lot on the car it breaks the transmission. Is that true ?

newbreed · 05-31-2004, 01:16 AM

Generally no, but it depends a lot on what kind of driving you do. Abusive or aggresive shifting wears parts out quicker.

kmanrox · 05-31-2004, 01:17 AM

i dont know... when i was test driving a porsche with it it sucked... doesnt give you the feel of the car like a manual.. as far as the possible flaw in tiptronic do a search on google, you'll find links to auto forums with info i bet.

Chaldoray · 05-31-2004, 01:19 AM

ok thanks, yeah i don't drive it aggressive i shift around when it hits 5 rpm

, why 5k? for normal driving i shift inbetween 2.5 - 3 no need to really take any car up to 5 unless you're racing

emthree · 05-31-2004, 01:22 AM

I Highly Doubt it - I've never heard of any problems along the lines from normal useage. I'm pretty sure it could become a future issue if you're dogging it and not shifting properly.

I have steptronic on the BM3 Series, never had any trouble.

Chaldoray · 05-31-2004, 01:24 AM

the dealer said to shift around 4 or 4.5

Semi-Retired-Dave · 05-31-2004, 01:24 AM

I have it on my Benz, and no troubles.

Chaldoray · 05-31-2004, 01:24 AM

it only goes up to 4 the gears

I have had it in my cars for years, I have used it about 3 times. I think its just a selling point. I downshift and play with the gears when racing but never with the triptronic.

What kind of car is it? Different engines have different power bands, small engines require high reving to move. Big engines have more torque, so they don't need to be reved as high.

Honda S2000 for instance needs to be taken to 7,000 to REALLY move. But a Corvette for instance would only need 2,000 realistically.

As a general rule of thumb, American transmissions go out quickly, along with all the other parts too. Honda's literally will last forever... and I'm not exadurating. My '92 Civic has 220k miles and I drive it fast, but not hard, and it's never had any major problems and runs great to this day.

I think the Ford transmission is number one on the list of Trannys taking a shit.

definatelly!
if you are talking about high torque on low rpm , take a mercedes for example

JaveWolf · 05-31-2004, 01:45 AM

Audi A8 didn't had any trouble with it.
But, I hardly used it.
Personally I think it's bullshit that tiptronic on a car.

Chaldoray · 05-31-2004, 09:28 AM

So tiptronic is not for everyday use ?

jacked · 05-31-2004, 09:31 AM

you can use it it's just a matter of if your gonna beat on it its like any car if you treat the car good and don't jump on the gas and shift real hard its not gonna fuck up the transmission but if you shift normal like 3k-3500 rpms then your not stressing the transmission no breaking of the car

cayne · 05-31-2004, 09:32 AM

I don't like tiptronic...go manual for full-automatic.

which one might you be referring to? AL4E, AODE? Chevys turbo400 and the Ford C-6 are rockcrushers.

Your 160hp engine is not going to break the transmission in your little front wheel drive Mazda. Use it all you want.

Chaldoray · 05-31-2004, 01:30 PM

i don't get why everyone says it will break your transmission if you use it a lot, then what's the point of it.

Tiptronic is for GIRLS.............Looked at nice Porche Cabriolet the other day, it was nice right up to the point of me seeing it was automatic. I talked to the dealer about it today, he said mostly women drive them

yes, its rated as a compact car. therefor it is little.

If you dont believe it is little, compare its size to a fullsize truck or SUV, or a fullsize sedan. Dont take it as insult. I called it little because its simply not large.

depends on the car

stevo · 05-31-2004, 02:10 PM

I use it more to slow down. Instead of hitting the breaks i prefer to drop it a gear.

Illicit · 05-31-2004, 02:13 PM

I beat the shit out of my car, no problems with it

DrGuile · 05-31-2004, 02:22 PM

I usually shift at 5500rpm... and I only really get all the power around 7000rpm

;)

Bottom line is, if it has it built in, its made to be used a lot.
I am just telling you out of my experience, I don't use mine much and I am sure you won't either. just learn the stick shift or get the auto.
