2009 Porsche Boxster Questions & Answers

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Porsche? 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 my Porsche tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how light the load might seem. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your Boxster’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 Boxster's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2009 Boxster’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. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Porsche Boxster? Yes, your Porsche Boxster can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your Boxster 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.
  • Who can fix my  Porsche Boxster transmission leak? Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care can troubleshoot and repair Boxster transmission systems. Book an appointment online today.
  • Can I drive my Porsche Boxster with a transmission fluid leak? You should avoid driving with a transmission fluid leak.
