...ok ok its not a 911 ....but i had a manual version 18 years ago and my missus wants one as thats what i pulled her in If only i'd had the Ferrari then..would have got better quality ROFL

I digress i am looking at an auto version later (she only has auto license) 1987 D plate so has the facelift dash etc....i know these cars are mainly reliable with FSH but whats the auto box reliability like?

 

I know a guy who tunes these cars for a living and he says that the transmission is very good matey.

 

What the automatic box Dan?

 

i have an auto 944s ....i broke it in 2 DAYS....and the part i needed to repair it was fookin expensive!!! it was the rubber buffer between the torque converter and the drive shaft.....bout the size of a dinner plate....porshe wanted 900 quid for a new one.....bloody hell.

according to the porshe tech guy these parts are prone to perishing in older cars....even by his say so, it was not a great design.

its still NOT fixed

 

yes man, he says they have a good build quality and to be fair they dont have rakes of torque going through them anyway so are never under the sort of load other big power autos are that cause to break, he say they cool.

 

Pros and coms there.......


what do you do.
