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.

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

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Finally got this done yesterday. Was a bit apprehensive due to reading about how complex this is and how special tools are needed but it went smoothly and Im glad I did it. Summary of steps: 1. lift car, remove last shield covering ATF pan 2. drain pan via screw on pan bottom 3. have a coffee break 4. replace washer with a new one and screw drain screw back. 5. remove pan, discard filter and gasket. Clean pan and magnet really well. 6. Reinstall filter (lube the o ring), reinstall pan using new gasket - its a hard rubber type gasket 7. open screw on side of pan. Open filler opening (yes there are 3 openings needed in the procedure) 8. using the special Porsche filler hose connected to a pump, fill new ATF (used Fuchs 3533 per Porsche docs) till it starts escaping the side opening on pan. 9. start the car, let idle in P then go through R-N-D 10 seconds in each, then back to P 10. keep adding fluid till it starts running out the side opening again. 11. check temp (used infrared temp gun on pan) mine read 37c and I had a small trickle running out the side hole. I closed the side hole at that point and closed the filler opening. 12. have coffee. 13. go for a drive. Immediately noticed smoother shifts and less of a "clunk" into 1st. having a lift, all the tools, and a manual fliud pump helped a lot - good to have a buddy with all this and good technical background with german cars
