Quick Check. I changed the fluid with great effort on account of "no proper filler" at hand. I guess i managed to pore in approx. 830-840 ml. Some spillage was involved. When i pored back the used fluid in to the bottle its just under 900ml (approx. 880-890 ml) as seen from the level window. I do not plan to drive the car until i get another bottle to top it off. Does Porsche account for some spillage when they give you 850ml bottle? To be honest is am s%*t scared to take the car out for a longer drive. Just tested it for less than a mile. The sift felt better no jerks. Took 3-4 trials from stand still( 1st to 4th gear )

Got the wheel Fixed. Apparently the wheel imbalance was not very severe and got corrected quickly Sadly the transfer case "kick" Issue remains Also got ATF (approx. $57 for 0.85 Ltr) from Porsche will get it changed tomorrow or day after. Anyone knows DIY transfer case Breather tube change. I got it from Porsche but need help to put it on transfer case post fluid change. Keeping my fingers crossed. Else going for replacement and tank my bank account

Will be getting the wheel fixed this week. No more driving GTS for now until it gets fixed. Will update soon.

Cayenne GTS 2013. 55k KM (approx. 34k miles). I am in middle east (Climate : Temp. 57 F to 108 F. for 7 months it remains between 97 F to 108 F) Brief History of Vehicle Condition before Issue: Bought preowned (No Warranty ...sob sob sob...) 21 inch wheels with Michelin tyres. Front Tyres were Old 2-3 yrs i guess. Rear tyres were couple of months old. Got 111 point check done by one and only Porsche dealer in Doha, Qatar. No major issue other than usual break pads, rotors, batter life etc. Regular service as per requirement done by previous owner. Log book stamped by dealer for each service. While merging on to highway lane i hit something (Stone, Lane marker not sure what). The tyre (Front Driver side) deflated immediately. I may have been doing 25-35 MPH. Used the spare wheel to reach home which was about 4 miles drive. Got front tyres changed. During wheel balancing I was told that the Front Driver side wheel was bent and could not be balanced with stick on weights. for some reason the mounted that wheel to the front passenger side. (Still looking for a shop who could fix bent alloys) Fast forward 500 to 600 Mile I again hit something on the same wheel (which was now on front passenger side with new tyre). It deflated to 10-15 psi. I inflated it to correct PSI the following day. (In between may have driven it with low pressure for about 50 miles ) After about 200 to 300 miles I started noticing Slip when my GTS shifts from 2nd-3rd gear (In auto). It been 7-8 days since i am observing this. I started to read a lot of forums to try and identify the what was happening. It was lovely car to drive what could be wrong. I went through multiple forums and Youtube videos for last 7-8 days. Highly stressed to find Transfer case cost 3000-4000 USD plus labor which could be a ton. After reading Renntech and great inputs by Mr. Don Eilenberger My guess is, post the 1st wheel hit incident the Transfer case is trying to compensate for uneven tyre grip due to unbalanced front wheel (Front Passenger side). Which may have led to Transfer case clutch being worn. 1. The slip is very evident when the engine and transmission etc is worm. 1st few mile in the morning i have not noticed it. 2. The slip feels like i am going over break in the road surface (Similar to when one drives over joint/gaps on a fly over). 3. Happens between about 1200 to 1500 rpm. The Taco fluctuates during the slip. 4. The issue is not observed once the gear changes to 4th. My To do: 1. Go to porsche dealer to get a solution and an estimate. Then go to another shop as I am sure after going through so many forums and videos that the dealer's solution will be "Recommendation to replace the Transfer case" 2. Get the wheel fixed asap. (I found a shop which fixes bent alloys) 3. Change Transfer case oil 4. Drive for a few days and report back to forum. Questions: 1. Which is the best Lubricant for this. Someone mentioned Ravenol (Not sure I can find it in Doha) 2. Some one mentioned a 5$ additive to prevent slippage in Transfer case clutch. Please recommend any solutions which would help avoid 4k Pit
