16mm Triple Square XZN Socket for VW/Audi Porsche : Amazon.com : Automotive If you have that, the only thing to watch for is when refilling, don't refill until it comes out of the fill hole, like every other car in existence. You need to use a "dipstick" to ensure the level is about 11mm below the fill hole. I used a small hex key, but you can use a paperclip or anything that will fit in the hole and show the level. here is a good write up: Pelican Technical Article: Boxster Differential / Manual Boxster Transmission Fluid Change - 986 / 987 Lastly, I can't recommend anything other than the Porsche fluid. I exclusively track my car and have used Redline, Swepco, Royal Purple and have had difficulty with them all. The Porsche fluid is expensive, but seems to work far better than any aftermarket. |
Thanks mate :)

thanks for the diy,
thanks god, i have a 6 speed trans, no need to order the special tool another project before putting my racecar on track in 2 weeks |
As you fill the tranny with new fluid, with the car in gear, rotate a wheel so the oil distributes well, otherwise, you risk under filling the tranny.
|
Can you jack the car up with the one that comes with the car?
And do I need two or four jack stands?? Thanks. |
finally, this is an easy job,
done it 2 times last week :) i did remove the cover under the tranny to help me reach the drain plug, ive decided not to put it back since its a race car |

I punched a hole in my cover to make draining easier. Keep in mind there trans cooling ducts mounted on the cover. Don't think I would want to lose mine unless I had an external cooler. |
