Just following up, was away for a few days. I currently have Swepco 201 fluid in - changed myself this spring. I used that based on suggestions in other posts as well as Pelican Parts.

Once things warm up all is well, and I think it shifts better overall than it did when warm (no idea how old or what kind of fluid had been in there).

So I'd rather not just change the fluid to the Porsche OEM and find out there is another issue, which would result in fluid needing to be changed again.

What I was thinking is trying to find a recommended shop nearby that could check it out and go from there.

Any recommendations for a shop in Central Massachusetts area?

Same here, I changed mine last year and it currently has less than 2K miles on the change. It is stiff when cold but works well after a short time. So you are saying I should ditch this stuff and go with the OEM Porsche part ??

Thanks
