Hi ttocs, The original fluid has been changed (I'm assuming that it was part of the maintenance schedule which I followed). You mentioned that after your service your car was happier - in what way? Thank you!

Hi! I'm the original owner and the car has been taken care of 8^). I've owned it since 1998. I've stuck to the recommended service schedule all of its life and it's been great! No transmission problems, no engine problems.

Hi! This is my first post and I hope that someone can help me with a question regarding my 180k service. I own a 1998 Boxster, almost at 180k miles, tiptronic. My Porsche mechanic gave me the option of not changing the transmission fluid because: a) At 180k, the transmission is beyond it's life expectancy b) The clutches are probably worn down and when that happens it's most happy with the old fluid because with new fluid there's a small chance the transmission will not like it and start slipping. So the question is change the fluid and take the chance it's going to start slipping or leave the old fluid in? Thank you for any insight! Update - the fluid was changed previously at the recommended service interval.
