SOURCE: 1987 944 porsche transmission and differntial fluid

I'm assuming that this is a 5 speed stick car because you mentioned 80-90 oil. This car has a transaxle, not a a separate transmission and differential. The transaxle houses the transmission gears and the differential all in one housing. There is a drain plug on the bottom a fill plug on the side. Here's a link to one of the best do-it-yourself 944 sites on the web. Click on the "garage shop manual" link in the sidebar and scroll down to "transaxle fluid change".

SOURCE: My husband is traveling and

there is a belt on the front of the engine that drives the various items like alternator, water pump, air conditioner and power steering pump-the power steering pump is the only accessory that has a reservior with a cap on it-look for it and turn the cap counter clockwise, it has a small dipstick on it. fill the reservior to the full level using the dipstick.

My 2004 porsche cayenne steering makes a whining noise when I turn the steering wheel - what could it be ?

Air in the power steering pressure line. Is the power steering reservoir full? Check for leaks or breaks in the pressure line to ensure air is not getting into the system.

I cant find were the power steering going on a 1999 porsche boxster

The power steering fluid reservoir is located near the top center in the engine compartment (see this thread for a picture: http://www.renntech.org/forums/topic/41098-where-to-top-up-power-steering-fluid/). Your owners manual will show you how to gain access to the engine compartment.

How do I top up steering fluid on a 2002 Porsche Boxter, I assume the fluid is low, when I turn the steering wheel there is like a buszzing sound coming from behind somwhere

It could be the fluid (you need to gain access to the engine below the convertible top cover), or it could be your power steering pump going bad.

I hope you don't have permanent damage from using the wrong fluid. There are several different types of power steering fluid and they are not necessarily compatible. I would have a shop flush the system and refill with the specified fluid.

Power steering fluid leak, after feeling resistance on steering wheel while driving, checked fluid, refilled, restarted and hear a bubbling sound and saw everything that I just refilled on the ground...

Does it leak while not running or when it runs? If it leaks without running you may have a bad P/S pump, return line or a crack in the resevior. If it only leaks while running you probably have a blown pressure line or a return line rupture. You may have a bad steering rack. The pressure lines typically will rust through, the return lines typically crack or rub thru. Hope this helps you.

1987 944 clutch pedal stays on the floor

look, if the clutch pedal is to the floor, there are about 3 different things that could be wrong. First check brake fluid to make sure full, see if there is any leakage under steering wheel and below transmission. Next could be the slave cylinder, it could be faulty or not bled right. Last it could be the master cylinder. If when you bleed the slave cylinder and have no movement in the arm inside the transmission then most likely the master cylinder is broken. Look under the steering wheel and see if everything looks entact. Watch the movement of the pedal and see if movement looks normal and see if fully attached. Good luck. Check www.clarks-garage.com for any problem in which you want to fix yourself. Great free site.
