Hello,
Anyone that can point me to a DYI for changing gearbox oil for the 997 gen 2 4S Manual. I cant get a hit on it with search...

There are instructions buried in there but in summary:

1 Ensure car is flat and level (so either 4 jack stands or a lift)
2 Remove the under-pan
3 Remove the fill bolt on the passenger side of the transmission; there are two, use the lower one
4 Remove the drain bolt and drain (Remove the fill bolt first... if you have problem removing it and your drained the transmission, you will need a tow)
5 Replace drain bolt and washer (I replaced the bolt with a magnetic one)
6 Pump in new fluid until it dribbles out (you will need a hand pump)

Anyone know the torque values? My manual denotes 30 ft lbs each ... see below. I use the LN magnetic plug and that is less at 19 ft lbs. (I have a magnetic plug for both my oil and trans drain plugs)

BTW, I have a service station do it while I stand there.... I don't like laying under my car. So I bring the two washers, fluid, and a torque wrench.

Peace
