The Tiptronic gearboxes built by Porsche started off in the G50 series and then have moved into the latest 996 and Boxsters. The G50 is a lot bigger than a 915, longer and heavier. These G50 boxes were what was used in the 993's.
The 996 and Boxster Tiptronics are pretty useless to us as the engine to gearbox mounting pattern has changed away from the standard 4 bolt so you can't bolt anything too it apart from a 996 or Boxster engine.
Also, Porsche are not yet selling parts to rebuild the 996 or Boxster gearboxes, you have to buy a new one instead!!!! Incidentaly, the 996 and Boxster S gearboxes are very different. Porsche did not use the same case and simply "flip the diff" as they did in the 914.
