What’s the Importance of Your 1998 Boxster’s Transmission?

Such problems aren’t hard to spot. 1998 Porsche Boxster transmission problems could include shifting delays, grinding or jumping during acceleration, the car shaking at any speed, or whistling noises and a burning smell coming from under the hood. If you ignore Porsche Boxster transmission issues you might notice your fuel economy decrease or discover that your Boxster’s not even driveable.

1998 Porsche Boxster Questions & Answers

  • What happens if I "ride" my 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. 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 offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how light the load might seem. The added weight can cause issues with your transmission if your vehicle isn't equipped to handle the load. Check your owner's manual to ensure you have the proper towing setup and aren't going over your towing capacity.
  • How often does my Boxster transmission fluid need to be checked? Regularly checking and exchanging your 1998 Boxster’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. About every 30,000 to 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your transmission fluid inspected and perhaps changed. Service intervals can vary depending on how you use your Porsche, so check with your technician first. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can transmission fluid leak from my Porsche Boxster? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Porsche Boxster, potentially causing transmission problems.
