Lubrication

Oil collecting pans and oil deflectors are installed in the gearbox to ensure optimum lubrication of the free gearwheels, the bearing for the reverse gearwheel and the drive pinion bearing. These oil collecting pans collect oil which is thrown up by the ring gear and route it to the respective lubrication points.







NOTE: Oil quantity 3.1 qts (2,9 liters), oil change quantity 2.8 qts (2,6 liters). Only transmission oil approved by Porsche is to be used.

One of the oil deflectors incorporates a borehole (see arrow). Oil drips from this hole into a collecting pan located underneath and is supplied to the bearing of the double wheel for reverse gear.
