tiptronic uses torque converter. Sounds like you may need to overhaul your valvebody

I think you need to do the ATF flushing....

Probably your car being kept for long time, try flushing your ATF ....:listen:

If I am not mistaken, Altezza Auto gearbox uses Toyota T-IV ATF oil.

1. Did you use Dexron III oil in it? If yes, the oil will strip the lamination on the discs. Most likely screwed
2. Did you use Toyota WS oil in it? If yes, you might be screwed too, cause WS is not compatible with T-IV

If your problem is 1. or 2., I would advise you immediately flush everything out, replace with T-IV, and pour in a bottle of Lubegard red and pray.

I did use Toyota T-IV ATF oil, so i dont think the problem is the auto fluid, maybe it is valvebody issue, going to check with workshop soon..

recently i drive uphill and stop, while the gear at 'drive', the car slide downwards that i need to pull my handbrake:hmmmm:
