Soooooo took my 02 C2 coupe to the local porsche indy shop for general overview. After a 2-3 hrs of looking, they call me and said they noticed AOS leak. I told them to go ahead and fix  it, worked out a decent price for it. This morning I get a call saying they drained the transaxle fluid and noticed "glittery shavings in the fluid.....We require more diag time and want to drop the transfer case to completely verify if your transmission is bad." Never had any grinding, or lag, or any transmission issues with the car. Oh and it has 61k miles on it. I asked if it was normal since the vehicle is 15 yrs old and 61k miles, and there are wearable parts inside of a transmission. He replied, "never normal for metal shavings in the fluid."

 

Am i being had or am i being had? What level of validity does this diag have on what theyre saying? Please help as car is currently in the shop and on the lift as we speak.

I'm confused.  You say the car is a C2 but then you say the transaxle fluid and transfer case, and also transmission.  Which one are you talking about?  Do you have a C4 with AWD?  Glittery shavings in oil is never a good thing.  Best to have them check it out and give you a diagnosis.  You might need this company - http://www.gboxweb.com/product.html
