Problem with switching gears
calessi45 replied to calessi45's topic in 986 Series (Boxster, Boxster S)
Thank you so much! Your response was so very informative and you answered all my questions. One last question...would you recommend that I only get the transmission serviced at a Porshe dealership? -
Problem with switching gears
calessi45 replied to calessi45's topic in 986 Series (Boxster, Boxster S)
Thank you so much for your reply. It only has 46,000 Miles on it. Should it have already had the transmission serviced? Can I check the transmission fluid level. It does not leak any type of fluids transmission or oil. I know probably silly questions but since I don't know I'm hoping to learn about this car by joining this site. -
I am a new owner of a 1998 Porshe Boxster. It's an automatic transmission. When I recently drove it I noticed for a very short time that it had not changed from 4th to 5th gear and as I looked at the speed odometer I was going close to 60mph in 4th gear. (All of this happened within a minute or two) I pulled into the 1st place and noticed it smelled like something was burning. Not wanting to leave the car there, I hesitantly sitting in the parking lot of where I had pulled in waited about 5 minutes and decided I would drive to my parents house which was nearby vs my house that was all the way across town. From the time I pulled out I never had another problem...it went into 5th gear every time with no problem so needless to say I drove home. Can someone please tell me if they have experienced like this. I'm scared something major is wrong and I got a car that appeared to be an excellent deal but as it turns out maybe not. It was like it was briefly stuck in 4th gear for a minute. Thank you for any feedback. Btw it has 46,000 miles.
