After recently purchasing our 914 it dawned on me that the car has been sitting for 6 years, is it a good idea to change the trans fluid? I do not see any receipts for one in the past. If so is it pretty easy? Also what is the best fluid to run? Red Line, etc.... Thank you.

Just the regular cheap stuff. Synthetic isn’t good for the synchros.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) and many don't know that Mark,its the design of the trans,porsche developed this system WAY back,never heard if Swepco works in ours transmissions but appears many have had results with the 911 box,should be the same right ? considering they are similar. Any good old stinking 80/90 is the way to go,many folks think the trans oil lasts for ever ...not true . |
