Hi hahnmgh63...

 

I used the IR temp gauge.  I believe I got in approximately 8 Liters.. Maybe a little more or less but somewhere in that neighborhood.

 

You suggest trying to add more.. I heard that overfilling can cause excessive "foaming" which is not a good thing. I believe.

 

What would be the procedure to add additional?  Can I do it at cold?  Do I wait till a certain temperature, etc etc?

I'm not suggesting as I would have to do a back to back compare with the IR thermometer (might be a bit of variance from brand to brand) and the Durametric which reads trans temp sensor through the ECU.  Just to help others out I might do a comparison some time next year as I've swapped out my fluid once about 2yrs ago but may do it again to get most of what I didn't get from the Fluid Cooler. I'm just saying that being a little low is wose than being a little high from a very experience transmission friend (specialist is Aisin & ZF modern transmissions). He actually recommends to cap off the fill right at 40'C whereas Porsche magically say's to undo the fill plug at 40'C and then fill if not dripping (when checking level, different procedure when filling from empty) and then cap it at 40'C.  While doing Porsche's procedure the temp can increase 5'C or more when your trying to get all of this done.  Also, if you did a whole filter change/drain, especially if you pulled the Cooler lines and drained you need to do the fill procedure as best you can, then drive it until the temp gets up to 90'C, then let it Cool (probably 2hrs or so) and do the topping off procedure as a compete drain and especially if you drained the Cooler lines can get air into the system and the Cooler lines don't open (thermostat) until 90'C so you need to get it hot to get the Thermostat open and then let it cool so you can re-check the level. Porsche addresses this in the shop manual section 37 02 35 CHECKING AND TOPPING UP THE ATF.  I would say as a minimum now that you've driven it just re-check the level again and call it good. You saved a lot of money by doing this yourself and that is always good.

Hi rik881,

 

Yes, I'm aware of Transgo kit.  I think I'm good with the RevMax solution.

 

There is definitively an improvement in shifting.  Again, I may need to reset the transmission adaptation ala Duramentric.  Otherwise as long as it drives now and stays that way, I'm good.

srfrdrew,

 

Were you able to reset the transmission adaptation? If so, did you notice any shifting improvement?
