Given my physical limitation I'm really wondering if the tiptronic can be made to work well? The factory Cup car sounds really intriguing in this regard.

I found a tiptronic car within a days drive which is some need of work. It's a '91, no sunroof, 90K miles. I'm thinking this might be a good base car to prep while taking care of the issues. It's too far away to demo so I have a few more questions.

Are there any differences between the Tip of a '92+? Is there any shifting lag especially when downshifting? At what point does the torque conv. lock? Is it possible to reprogram the manual function such that it holds each gear without the auto shift?

Thanks for all the help and comments!
