[Kings911]

Well I finally bought an 83 944 for my sons and I to restore.

Picked it up for 1600.00 including tax,title, and reg.

It had new timing belt and waterpump, all calipers rebuilt with new pads and rotors, steel brake lines and a bunch of other odds and ends.

Having said that it is a bit of a basket case as the PO was going to use it as a track car so most of the interior is disassembled, headlight motor is out of the car etc.

Basically the car needs some of everything which is why I bought it so my kids can learn how to do stuff! And if they scratch it, dent it etc. who cares!!!!

So far I have driven it about 70 miles 30 of which were on the highway at 70ish mph and the car felt smooth. Already got a thumbs up from a new 911 owner on the way to work yesterday.

So...my trans question.

I have driven the car about 4 times including the test drive. each time the car has ssat for hours so had time to cool down.

Everytime I have driven it I can go up through the gears and down through the gears 3-4 times without issue. After that it will start to grind 2nd gear.

This has to be a fluid "issue" right? The oil thins when warm so lubrication decreases?
