Suggestion

For about ten years now, I have been helping a close friend with the maintenance chores of his late father 997 2007 CS (now with 50k on the clock) like oil changes, break fluid flushes etc., last time when changing the engine oil I noticed that the cover of the Tiptronic was covered with oil and I assumed that I would be replacing the tranny oil pan gasket with a new filter and fluid, after reading your post I learned about the two oil-rings on the connector (have never touched a tip before), therefore I would be replacing these as well.

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.

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

POST 1Original post

Completed the gasket swap. i ended up ordering at the dealership. Didn't want to have to drop the pan and then go hunt a set down. Here are the steps I did: O-Ring part number (you will need 2 of them about 15$ a piece) 98639701700 Lift car up level so you can properly do the trans fill procedure after you are done unbolt the rear sway bar and let hang. 4 bolts open fill port so the when you open the drain bolt it doesn't glug and splash everywhere remove drain plug and catch it with a fairly large container (i would guess a little more than 5 quarts) remove drain pan torx bits its going to drip for a long time so just keep the collection bin under it. clean gasket surface twist the wiring harness bundle to unscrew it from the transmission, very easy to twist off. remove the retainer clip on the wiring harness. You will need a flathead to push it away from the trans body and then a pair of needle nose pliers to grab it and pull it off. push harness body into valve pan area, it will squeeze inside and hang down without unbolting the valve body remove gaskets (my original ones were white, the replacement ones are a speckled red) push harness back into place, put clip back on. probably a good time to replace the filter I just followed the pelican parts trans fluid/filter change procedure for the rest: Pelican instructions So far so good. I don't have a leak on my driveway yet. it still all looks dry around the pan and the connection part.

POST 2Original post

This DIY evolved out of another thread discussing this leak and how to fix it - that thread can be found at Help me find another leak (this feels like its kinda my... - it's closed to comments - please keep comments on-topic here to the DIY. Thanks much to @eruji for the great work!

POST 3Original post

Eruji, thank you for taking the time to write this post, it will save me a lot of time and most likely having to do this job twice.. For about ten years now, I have been helping a close friend with the maintenance chores of his late father 997 2007 CS (now with 50k on the clock) like oil changes, break fluid flushes etc., last time when changing the engine oil I noticed that the cover of the Tiptronic was covered with oil and I assumed that I would be replacing the tranny oil pan gasket with a new filter and fluid, after reading your post I learned about the two oil-rings on the connector (have never touched a tip before), therefore I would be replacing these as well. Thank you for the detailed steps!

POST 4Original post

if you are going to drop the pan then do the o rings while you are in there, save a lot of potential headache and money.
