Oh and I mean a "Transmission guy"... As in a high skilled and trained Master ASE Tech who works for me. Not some guy I know... lol. I understand hearing someone say "I know a guy" or something of the sort kinda can seem far fetched.

But My resume goes as far as being a owner/operator ASE tech for a small automotive performance shop out in Albuquerque, NM. The people I know, lots of them build cars for hobby, repair and maintain cars for a living. Some work under me. I even know Engineers with a vast list of exotic tools like CNC Machines, Plasma Cutting Tables and 3D Scanners but spend their spare time designing and building custom one off parts for Exotic cars. These aren't your everyday "my dad is a mechanic" people.

BUT not trying to brag, just trying to get more info on my own car. I for one don't have any certifications in german vehicles. My knowledge is basic but I am not a noob hehe.

I honestly was expecting something a lil more.... outrageous. a Pole and a puller..... Not exactly the special tools I was expecting but the more I know the easier the vehicle seems to work on. Just seems the details of working on a porsche from the looks of an outsider remain a guarded secret. Everyone thinks they are super exotic on repair costs and ability to work on. But these people obviously don't know what its like to own a high hp DSM, or a built rock crawler that you stupidly wanna daily drive haha. Porsche is not hard or expensive. Maybe a lil more than some.... 70 dollar oil changes. Order only parts. Prices are pretty decent on things like spark plugs and alternators and oil filters. There is nothing special there. Vehicle has an IMS Bearing..... So do some others.
