Questions About 1996 Porsche 911’s Transmission

  • What happens if I "ride" my Porsche's brakes? Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Porsche 911? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your 911’s towing capacity. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • Does my 911's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Caring for your Porsche 911’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your Porsche. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can Porsche 911 transmission fluid leak? Yes, your Porsche 911 can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your 911 ages, parts of the transmission system might wear out or break down, leading to a leak and possible transmission issues. Common causes of transmission fluid leaks include worn seals, a damaged transmission housing, a loose or cracked transmission pan, an overfilled transmission, or faulty transmission lines.
  • Where can I get my  Porsche 911 transmission fixed? Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care can troubleshoot and repair 911 transmission systems. Book an appointment online today.
  • Can I still drive my Porsche 911 if it has a transmission fluid leak? You should avoid driving with a transmission fluid leak. Your transmission system relies on transmission fluid to operate properly, and a leak may decrease performance, cause your 911 to overheat, or even lead to transmission failure.
