Cliff Notes version

Water pump, use only Porsche part. Use only porsche coolant. Do the motor mount at the Same time as doing both makes each one very easy.

Change Gear oil, use only Porsche oil.

Flush brake fluid. Any dot 4 works.

Change oi every 3-5 k miles. Any P approved oil is ok for street. Mobil 1 is standard oil. Do a search for years of navel gazing about oil pros and cons.

Flush power steering fluid, use only P approved oil. Do search on procedure for changing.

IMSB - you probably have the single row which has an 8-10% chance of failure, so do you feel lucky? If not, replace it now, or wait until it needs a clutch and get it done then, but if it were me,l i would would do it eventually. Again, do a search on imsb on this and other sites and you will have years of reading.

Welcome!
