Don't you need to open the case for this?
which car model is it?

Its possible on Panamera, I just can’t see how you could open the case with the transmission still bolted to the engine on 997/991 and cayman/boxster. Would love to hear more about that please

It's been more than 3 months since we last heard from @PV997, hope everything's well with him.

yeah,

that is completely different car/layout.
In theory I can see how it can be done on Cayman though not sure that it is easier than taking whole trans out, but I do not see how to do it on 911

But why not share the instructions?

What about those of us who are willing to perform the work or leverage a local tech? Have you tested the repaired sensor in a car? If it works, share the love. I don’t care about Porsche, or it’s techs or dealership. I want to get my car back on the road. Thank you so so much!!

Was not a problem at all, you just tilt the engine/transmission assembly down (transmission end) and pull off the end housing. It does help I'm a 30year plus tech but honestly it wasn't that bad. Although you do need a special socket for one the nuts on one of the shafts that I happened to have from something else that fit perfect.

Ya no problem, it's actually a home made one as you will see when I post it. I'll get the pic up as soon as I can.

We are still working on it, sensor errors have been sorted out but seems that we have a different issue with an oil pressure, someone has fiddled with the transmission before we got it to work on a sensor…. I’ll let you know once the car is back on the road.

if anyone would like to test, please PM me and we can try to work something out.
