Many owners find checking their automatic transmission fluid in their 928 to be a pain to say the least. Well here is the easy way. I just use a portable web cam and laptop to do it. It works great and you don't even need to lift the car. You can sit in your car and check the level by your self. These cameras are very cheap and I have found so many uses them that I can't believe I didn't think of it sooner. I use a cheap Phillips web cam with an attached light. It is great for checking the transmission, under the intake and all those places where you just can't get to.
To make it even better, I saw a radio controled car with a web cam attached to it advertised on TV. It is called "The Spy Car" and it is being marketed to kids as a toy. I haven't tried it, but it looks like you can just sit in your easy chair and send the "SPY CAR" into your garage and under the car. No need to even put down your beer.

Now all we need is someone to figure out a clever way to "adjust" the fluid level, if it needs to be changed.

I like the idea for checking TPS/ISV connectors as well
