Well I am just wondering in a tiptronic transmission does it have a clutch or no? Granted it is probably a question with an obvious answer, l still need to know.

No, it is a sequential automatic transmission

Yep. Sequential automatic transmission, a funkier systematic gearing. :)

no its a sequential shifter that has pretty good chance of great 0-62 time by using manual mode because it only needs the push of a button to shift in manual mode but porsche manual is just a bout as fast tiptronic S but tiptronic S gives 3mph less speed than manual un less you get a 911 turbo but when you get a VW with tiptronic its faster than manual but porsche is very balanced

No clutch. It is actually not bad to drive at all, especially in traffic.

A tiptronic is just an automatic transmission. Totally pointless in a drivers car like a boxster. Such a waste of a fun car.

No, it is a simple slushbox, just like any other automatic transmission.

No, tiptronic is like an automatic transmission that allows you to switch gears whenever you want by moving the shift knob up or down. It automatically switches to first gear when needed. It is still not as fast as Manual cars because it is heavy and big so it makes the car slower than a stick.

no clutch

Tiptronic is a type of discrete automatic transmission developed by Porsche & used in its vehicles & those of its licensees. A Tiptronic transmission can operate just as the common type of automatic transmission, but it also allows the driver to override the automatic mode by moving the shift lever into a second (Tiptronic) shift gate equipped with two spring-loaded positions: ''upshift'' & ''downshift''. Once in this gate, the driver takes over most of the shifting decisions ordinarily performed by the transmission is computer, permitting, for example, the delaying of an upshift for increased acceleration or to increase the braking effect of the engine. On some models, the upshift & downshift operations can also be commanded by pushbuttons or paddle shifters installed on the steering wheel with an optional display in the instrument panel indicating the current gear selection.

Though Tiptronic transmissions allow the driver a certain measure of discrete control, the Tiptronic design is implemented using a torque converter like other automatic transmissions. A Tiptronic is not a computer controlled clutch-manual transmission or semi-automatic transmission. Most Tiptronic implementations still make some shifts automatically, primarily to protect the engine & transmission. For example, as used by Audi, a five-speed Tiptronic will make the upshifts from 1 to 2 automatically when moving off from a stop even when in Tiptronic mode; the transmission then waits for the user is upshift command before proceeding from 2 to 3, 3 to 4 & 4 to 5, although the transmission will still upshift if the redline is approached. On deceleration, the transmission will make all downshifts automatically to avoid running the engine at too-low an RPM although the user can accelerate any downshift (that would not violate the redline), thus allowing improved engine braking or preparation for future acceleration. There r some exceptions to this; the system used in the Aston Martin DB9 is designed to hold the gear at the engine is redline, though it will still downshift automatically. This system also allows the engine to blip the throttle during downshifts for a smoother shift, reducing the ''jerk'' by the wheels, which affects traction.

Most luxury vehicles with a Tiptronic transmission have two fully-automatic modes: One, identified as ''Comfort'' or similar, & another, usually called ''Sport,'' which delays upshifts for a sportier driving at the expense of fuel, wear, comfort, & noise. Then, within each major mode there r additional hidden modes selected by the transmission itself; these modes adapt to the demands being placed upon the car by the driver. In this way, shift quality has been improved due to better electronic controls; these electronics modify the shift points to adapt to a given operator is driving style.

Some makers such as Aston Martin, BMW & Smart offer paddle shifter behind the steering wheel for controlling their similar transmissions.

Some systems such as Ferrari is F1-Superfast, Toyota SMT, & Volkswagen is DSG r different from Tiptronic transmissions in that they r actually based on sequential transmisions but have an electronically controlled clutch (or in Volkswagen is case, two clutches). These r generally not referred to as Tiptronics but r considered to be true semi-automatic transmissions.
