Not sure where to post this..

But seeing as it is a turbo car and this is the 993 tt air cooled section..I'll give it a go.

A dealership I do alot of work for has just recived a 959. It is in need of a complete fluid change, aswell as a clutch.

Trouble is, this being the first 959 that I know of in Canada, I have no local resource for service information. The dealers here don't have any service manuals or any other info on the car becuase it was never imported into this country when it was new.

I'm really hoping somebody here could help me out with service info on this amazing peice of automotive history.

Well. I haven't been able to start on it yet!! I have been swamped with other work, and the dealership is not in a hurry as of yet, so its been put on the back burner for now.

I was doing some pricing on parts however...I almost had a heart attack! So far we are at 12kCND in parts alone. Ah well if ya wanna play..ya gotta pay!..updates will be added as time permits. This may turn out to be a winter project.
