So can I leave the filter (the existing fluid was quite clean) and just put in new ATF that may be different from what I had, or should I replace the filter too?

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

1 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I was getting a small leak from my transmission and it seemed the gasket was seeping and when I took the pan off, there was a crack in the gasket. Good news! I searched the forums and couldn't find a good answer for the following 3 questions. 1) what is the preferred after market ATF for a 1999 996, preferably from Pelican Parts. I found a variety of answers but am skeptical so I figure I would put this one out there 2) I understand the filling method, but what is the capicity...ie how much should I buy? 6.5l? 3) the ATF was done last year by my indy and he replaced the filter (maybe not the gasket..I don't know). I know that one should not mix ATF fluids. Do you think that there is enough of the OLD ATF in the filter to make a difference regarding 'mixing' ATF? So can I leave the filter (the existing fluid was quite clean) and just put in new ATF that may be different from what I had, or should I replace the filter too? It has been drained for a couple of days at this point but just not sure if the residual in the filter would be enough to cause a problem. Thoughts? Thanks all!
