Two Quuestions: Sun Visors/Tranny Fluid

So this does not work ???? , I thought it was the go to lube for the 6 speed gearbox

I replaced my fluid with Swepco. It is very difficult when cool. 2nd gear is very very tricky. Often I just go 1st to a gentle 3rd for the first 5-10 minutes in the car.

I will say, once everything is warmed up, the Swepco fluid performs very well. Extremely smooth shifts. No issues with 2nd.

That said...I'm going to do some more reading on this and replace the Swepco with something that is more friendly when cool. Probably within the month before fall arrives. Maybe OEM, maybe something else.

One thing is for certain: If you go with the Porsche oil, you won't have any issues.

FYI, when I had the aluminum cover off the car, I marked a spot directly under the drain plug (this is for the 6-speed) and used a hole saw to put a 1 1/2" hole through it. Took all of 3 minutes to do. Now I can change the gear oil without removing anything but the two plugs. Going from Mobil 1 back to Porsche oil was a breeze.
