tiptronic gearbox
has anyone messed about with tiptronic gearboxes, ive been looking at some at the breakers yard and some have what look like an actuator to change the
gears. its got me thinking if i can use one of these boxes with a cable to make it like a sequential box. i might go and buy one off an fto just to
test it.

I believe that most gearboxes of this type are actually automatic, that allow manual control of gear changing, and that the actualtors open and close
valves that operate the gearbox hydraulically.
The americans are well into this stuff, (they don't have the fear and loathing of autos in sports situations that we see in
the UK), and is usually achieved by using a modern auto (which are all electronically controlled, of course) with a custom ecu, which can be
programmed with a laptop or manually controlled by switches.

As above, Propper Tiptronic boxes have tourque converters and are autos with a different control set up. robotised Manual Boxes are just that though,
but I doubt you'd find one that was RWD for cheaps as the only RWD ones I can think of are on really exspensive stuff. There are alot of FWD
Fiats, Alfas, Audis and VWs with them though.
