I searched the forum and internet and couldn't locate a DYI article for how to change the transmission fluid for a 997.1tt. Please someone out there help me with a link. Thank you forum guys and gals!

 

There are 3 parts with oil, the rear part, the front part, and the final shaft, be carreful the type of oil in the final drive is not the same as the two others.
Find a workshop manual or send me a message to get the relevant pages

 

is it a manual or tiptro, which year?

 

Since we are on the subject, how often are people doing this?

 

10 years or 100k miles. Most of us are hitting the age mark now, I replaced the fluids in my '07 last year.

 

I changed all mine at 7th year and was still good. I may do every 5 years move forward

 

Makes sense...I am at 32k miles and I will do it in April...thanks!

@964hans is there a similar manual for the tiptronics auto transmission fluid change?

I have a 2009 turbo and am looking to do the front / rear diff, plus the tiptronics transmission fluid / filter change. All the instructions seems to be of other variant, nothing on the 2009 Turbo. Also all the fluid types are for 2005~2008, leaving me wondering what I should do on my 2009 (odd year) turbo.

I believe drain / fill will not change all the fluid, but if I can use the right fluid, and can do this a few times, I should be pretty good to 75% new. At 62k miles but just bought it, so want to sleep better knowing all the fluids have been drained / filled.

Thanks!

This is fantastic. Just been searching for some tech guides on this. Looks a pain, was hoping it wouldnt need some special chargeing pipe and such.
