With the introduction of the 85/2 Model 944, the oil level in the manual transmission was lowered. This reduces the operating temperature of the transmission because of less oil splash.
The factory fill is now only 4 U.S. pints of gear lube instead of 5.2 U.S. pints.
When checking the transmission oil level, make sure the oil level is approximately 6 mm below the filler bore, since the oil filler plug position has not been changed.
