Questions About 1988 Porsche 928’s Transmission

  • What happens when you "ride" your Porsche's brakes? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Porsche 928? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your 928’s towing capacity. Check your owner's manual to ensure you have the proper towing setup and aren't going over your towing capacity.
  • When should I have my 928's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Regularly checking and exchanging your 1988 928’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system 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. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can transmission fluid leak from my Porsche 928? Yes. Porsche 928 transmission fluid can leak over time and potentially cause transmission issues. Worn or damaged seals, a loose or damaged transmission pan, a cracked transmission housing, faulty transmission cooler lines, or an overfilled transmission could cause transmission fluid leaks.
