Necro!

Going to do the Trans and Diff on my 2001 986 Tip.

Question: Can you drill the 2.5" holes in the skid plate to make the next fluid change easier? It would need to be 2 holes for the drain and fill.

Once the plate is off, I can eyeball the locations. Just wanted to make sure this is a reasonable plan.

I think I am going to change the ATF every other year, but want to do 2 changes in short succession. I am at 58k miles and assume the ATF has never been changed, so its like a mini-flush.
