From experience I can tell you that changing the transmission fluid on the Cayenne's is not worth the effort as it can cause difficult almost impossible to purge air pockets which immediately will cause shifting problems .... My friend had to change the fluid 4 times on his 955 before the trapped air purged . That's why some dealerships recommend against it unless truly necessary .... The choice is yous ..
In any event, I've done this procedure myself 6 or 7 times on both 958 and 957 Cayennes, and never had the issues you state. Additionally, this air pocket problem you describe has never been mentioned before on this forum, nor the workshop manual.

Finally, the 955 and the 958 have different transmissions.

Debatable. I had enough clutch material on the filters that I'm glad I changed it after 60kish miles, but I didn't see any reason why my original filter could not have lasted for much longer. I guess for $60 for the kit and a few minutes work, why not.
