yourfather you are seriously a dick... I too have only heard of slight problems with the tiptronics on the 5th gens, but never any problems that warrant the need for a gearbox rebuild.. All the tiptronic owners I have met are happy with them.. what was the point in offloading a tonne of shit on Peach for what I think is a valid point?

Ive had my lude for over 3 years now, and have been an active member of many forums. I can only speak for the ludes here in Aus but I can tell you for a FACT that there is a lot of TALK of the tiptronics being faulty, but I have never known anyone that has had their gearbox shit itself.

For those looking at buying a tip 5th gen, take it for a test drive, if it feels good and doesn't hesitate gear shifts, chances are it will be a good purchase..

yourfather, shut your mouth and have a think before you try shut down other members that actually OWN the car in question..
