Air-cooled Porsche 911 after summer sleep

An air-cooled Porsche 911 (964C2) recently woke up from a short summer sleep after a month and a half.

Riding in my cousin's air-cooled Porsche 911 (964) for the first time in a long time.

After the summer sleep, my husband has been running around the neighborhood and using it for commuting, but there are still some parts that need to be repaired, so the other day, he took it to a store to have it fixed.

."Are you that rattled?I asked.

I get judder (rattling vibration) when I brake at high speed. I had the brake discs polished when I bought the car, and it didn't happen for a while.Shikoku TouringI started getting them around the time I got back from the airport. It's been a little better lately, but it's so weird that I decided to fix it.
Also, I would like to change the ATF (automatic transmission fluid).

He said.

And the store I requested this time is also in the neighborhood where I requested an oil change before.B-ForceHe brought his 911 in and asked for an ATF change and brake judder first, but after having them check a few other things, they found other things that needed to be fixed in addition to what my husband thought needed to be fixed.

But fixing everything at once would be too much work, so they decided to go step by step, fixing things a little at a time, and see how it went.

• ATF (automatic transmission fluid) replacement
• ATF strainer replacement
• ATF strainer O-ring replacement
• ATF oil pan gasket replacement
• Front brake rotor replacement
• Rear driveshaft boot replacement
• Brake pads front and rear, chamfering and greasing

This was the content of the report.

Air-cooled Porsche repair details

ATF (automatic transmission fluid) replacement

."Why change the ATF?When I hear the word

There's a record in this car's maintenance records of an ATF change in the past, but when I took it in for an oil change earlier, the president of B-Force said, 'You know what?The ATF drain bolt is dirty and appears to have no signs of having been turned.I don't know. Maybe it was replaced before, but in any case, it's been quite some time,' he was told.
So I thought I'd give it a shot.

I see...I don't know if I understand the explanation, but I don't know if I understand the new terms I don't know..."Then what happens when you change it?I asked further.

Depends on the car.Shift shocks are better, shifting is faster, and the slipperiness of the automatic transmission is eliminated.I do. Personally, I love ATF changes and have done it at least once on almost every car I've ever driven. I remember that the ATF in my SLK350 (R171) didn't change much, though.

This time, they had the ATF (ATF made by A.S.H., recommended by the president) replaced three times for a total of about 12 liters.

Brake rotor replacement

I also replaced the brake rotors this time around, but I was not able to find a way to get them to work without my "Brake rotors, like those tire discs?My husband, when asked, "What do you mean?

Yes. The president said that there are various causes of judder, including bad discs, brake calipers, and deteriorated bushings on the shafts extending from the steering wheel.
This time, in an effort to determine the cause, I had a number of rides and investigations done to determine the cause.I'd like to replace the front disc first.I had a suggestion," he said, "and I asked for it.

He said.

Rear driveshaft boot replacement

And what's a driveshaft boot? I have no idea what kind of parts they are.

This is a rubber boot attached to the shaft that turns the tire from the engine. Grease and other materials are contained in this boot.
This time, theI happened to take the rear tire off to look at it and discovered that the rubber was puckered and torn on both sides.I heard that. If this is torn and the grease runs out, it will be a big problem.

Yes, it's torn and split in two!

To get the 964 up and running.

My husband drove the air-cooled as soon as the repairs were done.

The brakes are so much better now.Even when braking from high speed, there is no shake at all.The boss said, "This is not zero yet. The boss said, "This is not zero yet, and if you want to do more, you should change the bushings in the steering system," but this is enough for now. I'll refresh that area next time.

He seemed happy. He was also

The automatic transmission is smooth! Well, this car's AT didn't have much shifting shock to begin with, but it seems like there is less friction in the drive train.
It's hard to tell when you're driving around town in 2nd or 3rd gear.When accelerating on the gas pedal at a highway merge, the extension of the car is much better.The shifting itself seems to be a little faster, and the extension after the lock-up is activated seems particularly smooth. It really feels good.

On the other hand, he said.I'm not a good driver.He also said.

I have been driving a GT3 (991.2) for a long time now, and the performance of the car has been helping me a lot, so my arm has become a bit rusty. Even on tight winding roads in Rokko, where I could turn well in the past, I couldn't shift the load properly and my driving was not smooth.I don't know how to handle a car, so I'll have to practice this again.Wow. But air-cooled Porsches are deep...

I see... the latest Porsche is equipped with various functions to support the driver's driving. I see...the latest Porsche is equipped with various functions to support the driver's driving. In fact, the 911 (991) Cabriolet that I was allowed to test-drive before was very easy and fun to drive.

Cars are deep. Also, one of these days my husband willWe set off on a long touring trip with air-cooling and practiced a lot.I guess it will come.(I really wonder what he's trying to achieve...)

I mean, I must learn to drive a GT3 soon!
