Its been a while, still driving my V8 car. Just wondering about a Tiptronic ? I see thy are controlled by a computer but they are just solenoids and couldn't one just manually work the shifting ? I'm asking the questions because it would be so so so nice to just push a switch LOL.
I don't even know how long the transmission is and would expect it to be a bit longer than my 930. Again would hold the torque of my 350? I guess it would the way I drive most of the time LOL. I love my car but a switch would be nicer. OK what are your thoughts ? |

Maybe a Boxster chick-tronic would work with a custom starter bolted to the V8. Computer controlled but isn't it a combination of engine rpm which could be done with a speed sensor maybe but for downshifts when the engine lugs may be a combination of speed sensor and engine RPM's of tach signal...

Interesting puzzle. but I would much rather shift my sports car or drive my BMW touring with auto. |
