Hi everyone

I have a 1986 928 Euro, I need to check the transmission oil level and looked at my porsche handbook for guidance, the book mentions there is a resevoir at the back of the transmission, It is quite clearly illistrated in the book,

I have looked under the car and cant seem to see it anywhere, I have looked from the back and from the sides and no luck, I am looking for the plastic resevoir for the levels.

Is my car different or what?

thanks for your help

5-speed or automatic transmission? If the latter, it may be caked in gunk. It's on the right side of the transmission near the rear. If it's a 5-speed, there's no external reservoir (which would be why you can't find it), you check the level by removing the fill plug just above the mid-line of the rear differential cover plate.

EDIT: An auto, from your other post.

This can be done without jacking up the car using a mirror. One picture to help you find where to look and another to identify what to look for. Hope this helps.

I'll get myself a mirror..

Just so you know, don't be looking for anything yellow... that's the back of my shop light. I use a shop light to lightup the area and a flash light pointed at the mirror to light up the reservoir.

I cleaned mine reservoir using PB blaster. That stuff cleans through crude quicker than brake cleaner.

I presume you know the car needs to be level, warmed up and runnig.

Oh yeah,,, if you are not using a mirror it will look like this...
