Default PKD, how to check fluid

I would like to know how to check the oil in the transmission and clutch. Is it possible to have clutch slippage
if the fluid level is low??? When the car is cold, I get the transmission acting strange. Like it's slipping or it shifts
hard. I know my Boxster S, with PDK didn't act this way, that I could tell, when in sport mode and in sport plus
It has to go to 4k before it shifts. Is this normal???? When I bought the 997 it had a complete, top to bottom check,
but not the transmission check of fluid.

There is not a way to check the level of the fluid other than to flush it and refill. It is good to flush and fill at 30,000 mile intervals.

Mine does that too. Been to the dealer multiple times. Told it's normal. The clutch fluid change interval in 6yr/60k. Need a PIWIS to do it.

We have a PDK in the macan and it behaves completely different.
