transmission oil type on the 997S/shifting issues on 1st2nd
HI,
I just bought new a 997s with the short shifter. Having issues with first and second gear shift. Only way i can shift smoothly is by coming back at a lower rpm.. only then i can shift ..almost the same thing on the second gear but 1st is worse. I had almost the same issue wit my 996 which had 13k miles when i bought it .. I changed the transmission oil to mobi1 1 75/90 synthetic and that helped alot . should i try doing the same thing on this new 997 with only few hundred miles ?. I called many dealer and tech shops.. no one has changed the transmission oil on the 997s.. I saw on some euro board for the old 996 that porsche was using molylube (or some thing like that)..I know others r also having the same shifting issue on the 997.. this is the only fix I can think of ..any ideas ?
