This type of offer from Woody doesn't surprise me at all. What a class act. And, I can't think of a better person to receive the offer. To cool. This is what makes this such a great place.

I'll do $30.

Hello Retroman,

from what i know about this transmissions your mechanic is absolutely right.

It's just a 6 hours ride to get a new "old" AT.
https://www.google.de/maps/dir/Bastrop,+Texas,+USA/Oklahoma+City,+Oklahoma,+USA/@32.7662726,-99.6620091,7z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m13!4m12!1m5!1m1!1s0x86449a5be8d1db 69:0x340d3c665badd960!2m2!1d-97.3152701!2d30.1104947!1m5!1m1!1s0x87ad8a547ef8d2 81:0x33a21274d14f3a9d!2m2!1d-97.5164276!2d35.4675602

But make shure to clean the valve body and check valves and valve filters. I've done this with MB 722.6 AT – which is quite the same than the Porsche AT. Not that complicated; especially if the transmission is out if the car. Also remove all old ATF oil in the transmission and torque converter - around 11-12 litres and put new ATF oil and a new ATF filter in.

The Mercedes 722.6 have sometimes problems with the electronic circuit board on top of the valve body. Don't know if there is a problem at the Porsche AT too. Picture shows MB AT 722.6

FYI, the 98 tip I have came off a box with 144k but the trans looks like it had already been replaced. Fluid and torque convertor look almost new

[Retroman1969]

Yikes!! That's an amazing and incredibly generous offer! Thank you so much for that Woody! I don't want to take advantage of anyone's generosity, but I'd be a fool to say no.
They already started on my tranny service and said that he fluid and filters are absolutely filthy for only 30,000 miles. However... There' still the fear that the torque converter is shot because it was shuddering badly on deceleration and not fully releasing at a stop. Yours would be a much better bet. I'll PM you!
Thank you everyone again! The support and encouragement has been just mind blowing and very much appreciated! I'll keep you up to date.

In both of them, the force is strong

Thank you very much for the sentiments guys!
Well I'm driving it for work today. Unfortunately the transmission service made it worse if anything. Or maybe it's just getting worse on its own. It's definitely on the way out, either way.

Well... you are not to far from Texas, just saying..

[Retroman1969]

I think it would make a steady highway run.
It's just straight down I-35.

If you have an issue on the way, I'm here to help in the DFW area

[itsnotanova]

You really need to tow or haul it down here. As hot as it is, you might completely kill the transmission and be stuck on the side of the highway. I have faith in our ability to get your transmission swapped out, but we are putting in an untested transmission. I'v also taken a lot of these things apart but dont get to put them back together very often.

so? is she gonna make it doc?
