1987 Porsche 944 Transmission Q&A

  • What happens when you "ride" your Porsche's brakes? Keeping your foot on the brake pedal or lightly but consistently pushing it down can lead to transmission problems. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for engine braking when possible.
  • What can I tow in a Porsche? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small. Defying your 944 towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • How often does my 944 transmission fluid need to be checked? Maintaining your Porsche 944 transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. 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 944? Yes. Porsche 944 transmission fluid can leak as time passes, which may lead to transmission problems.
