I used the 000-043-305-49 Porsche fluid on a recent change, now the transmission is more reluctant to easily shift when it's cold (ambient) or not warmed up.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Is this stuff magic enough for the Base 5-speed? It creates doubts when they don't distinguish between Base 5-speed and S 6-speed. Mentioned in passing it was time for gear oil change on my '01 Base to mechanic doing a new motor mount and when I returned he had done the oil change, too. Of course it almost won't shift at all in cold weather before warmup and I need to get something better in there. Is there a source for DIY quantity of the right stuff or do I need to see dealer?

POST 8Original post

Here's the weird thing for me. I used the 000-043-305-49 Porsche fluid on a recent change, now the transmission is more reluctant to easily shift when it's cold (ambient) or not warmed up. Admittedly I cannot recall if it exhibited the same with low ambient temperatures before, maybe it did much to my empty recollection. During the other weekend's HPDE in Savannah it was 25 in the mornings and it was rather hesitant to shift. Once the engine/trans warm up it's good to go. I did follow the Bentley manual on the filling procedure to avoid overfill.

POST 9Original post

I would use the Mobil 1 Synthetic GL-5 oil. I’m sure the Porsche branded oil is good too but probably not any better than the cheaper Mobil stuff.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
