For grins, I called Arlington, VA Porsche and asked how much they would charge for this service. First he asked if this was a PDK. I said, no, its uh Tiptronic from days of yore.
$1400 is what he quoted me to change transmission fluid. I think that is the "We don't want to work on your old azz Boxster and this guy won't pay anyways" price. Sheesh!
If I get lazy, I might reach out to our resident mechanic JFP in PA and see what his rates would be. That would be a monster road trip for me, but maybe worth it to have him tackle about 3 or 4 things (Upgrade to an S oil cooler, 160f Thermostat, Water Pump, AOS, and trans fluid).
