Hey all,
In the middle of changing my trans fluid for the first time. The previous change was done 12-30k miles ago, not sure exactly when. I felt some notchiness going into 2nd gear that I thought might not need to be there, so I picked up some mobil delvac 75w90 and am putting it in this morning.
On every other trans fluid I've changed (manual trans), the drain plug has a magnet built into it and it's always covered with a fine grit of particles from normal transmission wear. This can be seen as a dark even-grained sludge sitting on top of the drain plug when you pull it out.
When I pulled the boxster's drain plug, it was spotless. Nothing but an even coating of lightly colored gear lube.
Is this normal for the boxster or do most people experience some particulate build up there?
Joe
P.s. Either way, I'm not displeased
