Found this on RL from a chap complaining about difficulty shifting from 2-3 after trans oil change......may be of interest
I had this problem with my 1997 993 after a transmission oil change. I discovered that Porsche had issued a Service Bulletin stating that only a specific transmission oil type was now approved -- my mechanic had not read the Bulletin and was using some other unapproved product. We drained the new fluid and replaced it with Porsche approved transmission fluid and the problem was solved.
Pelican Parts sells the correct Porsche transmission fluid--this is where I purchased mine. Details below:
Manual Transmission Fluid - SAE 75W-90, (20 Liter)
Part #: 000-043-305-48-OEM
Part #: 000-043-204-19-OEM (Superseded)
Attached here too is the Porsche Service Bulletin.
