so i find that my transmission has been leaking fluid for the past 2 weeks, thought it might have been oil leak from drain plug, went for oil change, and when the car was up in the air, i could clearly see the lead was from the tranny, and mechanic said it was probably a head/gasket...but he doesnt touch transmissions.

my question is:
1. can someone recommend me a transmission repair shop to check it out and do necessary repairs. (burbank,glendale,pasadena)

2. cost to replace head gasket?

3.do most porsche repair shop send it out for repairs usually?

thanks in Advance to all the people with Crazy amount Knowledge on this Site!
you guys are amazing!

Find a new mechanic....no headgaskets on transmission.

 

^^Indeed

 

thanks guys, i will do as advised, even if he only changes my oil.

still looking for referrals to new mechanic that fits the bill.

 

Probably the rear main seal, but you need to take pictures and show us the leak.

You may have better luck with mechanic suggestions in the regional forum

 

Call Loren at 911 design, his shop is in montclair, not far from Pasadena. Nine11design.com. His shop does everything. Tell him Andre sent you.

 

This. If it's gearbox related they are experts. If it's the rear main on the engine, they can do that as well. Great group of people at their shop as well.
