Hi,

concerning this Wheeler dealers TV show with the AT. This was a car with less than 60k miles on it. And it's a TV show and Mike Brewer is a professional car dealer. So things might not always be as they look.Never forget: it's a TV show.

But it's true. If the AT fluid level is too low, the AT might not work properly. Problem here is also that it is not easy to replace the complete AT oil on this special Porsche AT transmission. An normal oil change would only change approx. 4 litres and there are around 11-12 litres of ATF in there.

@Retroman:
Would be nice if the Box could be repaired with not too much money and lives on.

If not, what will be next? Come on, you love that green interior. How can you let that go?

Regards, Markus
