The previous owner had let it run down about two quarts low (the Carrera transmission takes about 10 quarts, with about four quarts replaceable during a fluid change).

Automatic transmissions use the fluid both as a hydraulic fluid and a coolant�they won�t work if there isn�t any fluid running through them.

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.

Replacing your oil is easy. Porsche knows that this needs to be performed once about every 3,000�5,000 miles and designed the car that way. On the other hand, changing the tranny fluid is not an easy task, and you can probably bet that the previous owner of your car did not perform this task as often as they should have when they owned it.
What are the symptoms of low automatic transmission fluid? I experienced this when I purchased a car with a known transmission problem. When the car was stopped suddenly via the brakes and then the accelerator was immediately pressed, the transmission would slip, and then slam into gear, lurching the car forward. I had a strong suspicion that the transmission was low on fluid. A thorough inspection of the car showed the remnants of significant leakage of transmission fluid.
What causes this symptom with the transmission? Well, when you slam on the brakes, all of the fluid in the transmission flows to the front of the car and away from the fluid pickup, which is located toward the rear of the transmission. With the fluid at the front of the car, the transmission loses fluid for a very short while. Automatic transmissions use the fluid both as a hydraulic fluid and a coolant�they won�t work if there isn�t any fluid running through them. After the car has stopped and the fluid has moved back toward the pickup, the transmission began to work normally. If the transmission had the proper levels of fluid, then this condition would not occur. Needless to say, after I replaced the transmission fluid and checked the levels, the problem disappeared. The previous owner had let it run down about two quarts low (the Carrera transmission takes about 10 quarts, with about four quarts replaceable during a fluid change). Driving for any more time with the transmission in this state would have led to substantial damage and could have resulted in a wrecked tranny (replacement cost: $2,500 or so).
