987 S tiptronic question

[Adam1968]

Hi all,
I've got a 3.4S 987 with a tiptronic gearbox which stalls when driven from cold,if it was a manual it would feel like the clutch is not engaging properly,ie: if I come up to a junction it still wants to keep going unless I go slower then it seems ok,when the car is warmed up or driven for about ten miles it behaves itself.
I had the gearbox oil and Filter changed last October and I'm sure it was fine before hand. Any insight would be helpful

I take it that this has only been noticeable since the weather cooled off sometime after the oil and filter change, as I once had a 968 Tiptronic and remember it could be sticky on the shifts for the first mile or so in very cold weather I would presume that it is a similar problem just a cold torque convertor, they are supposed to lock in the drive and disengage on shifts but when cold can be "sticky".

I know of another member who has had a worse problem with his Cayman 987S but PM me if you want to discuss further.

Thanks for the reply buddy, I was thinking that as well,I'll see what it's like in the summer.

Are you sure they put the correct oil in it when it was changed ?

Hope so will have to check,I took it to an independent Porsche specialist so hoping they know what they are doing ??
