This is to show some experience I went through during the fluid change out.
First transmission drain and fill plugs part number. They both are the same plug.
Drain plug captured some metal shavings. Not a good sign. The plug on the left is new.
Found rusted back side of door lock latch.
Used a $5.00 fluid transfer hand pump to fill. It worked so well and did not even a drop spilled.

Porsche 911 3.2, SC, Carrera, G-model - Transmission Fluid Change Out Procedure-
To perform a transmission fluid change on a Porsche 911 3.2, you will need a few tools and materials, including a new transmission filter, gasket, and the appropriate transmission fluid. Here is a general procedure for changing the transmission fluid:
1 - Gather the materials: You will need a new transmission filter, gasket, and the correct transmission fluid specified for your Porsche 911 3.2 model.
2 - Safety precautions: Ensure that the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the engine is cool before you begin.
3 - Locate the transmission pan: The transmission pan is usually located underneath the vehicle, towards the rear, and is attached to the transmission. It may be necessary to raise the vehicle using jack stands or ramps to access the pan.
4 - Prepare for fluid drainage: Place a drain pan or container underneath the transmission pan to catch the old fluid when you remove the pan.
5 - Loosen the pan bolts: Use a socket or wrench to loosen the bolts securing the transmission pan. Start by loosening the bolts around the perimeter of the pan gradually to allow the fluid to drain slowly.
6 - Remove the pan: Once you have loosened all the bolts, carefully lower the transmission pan while holding it in place to avoid spills. Allow the remaining fluid to drain into the drain pan.
7 - Clean the pan and inspect the filter: Once the pan is removed, clean it thoroughly with a suitable cleaner to remove any residue or sludge. Inspect the transmission filter for any signs of damage or excessive debris. If necessary, replace the filter with a new one.
8 - Install the new filter and gasket: Install the new filter in the same position as the old one. Ensure that it is properly aligned and secured. Then, place the new gasket on the transmission pan, aligning the bolt holes.
9 - Reinstall the pan: Carefully reposition the transmission pan back onto the transmission and tighten the bolts evenly. Refer to the manufacturer's specifications for the appropriate torque settings.
10 - Refill with new fluid: Locate the transmission fluid dipstick, usually located near the engine bay. Remove the dipstick and use a funnel to pour the appropriate transmission fluid into the dipstick tube. Add fluid gradually, checking the level using the dipstick until the fluid reaches the correct level.
11 - Start the engine and check for leaks: Start the engine and let it idle for a few minutes. Check underneath the vehicle for any signs of leaks around the transmission pan. If you notice any leaks, address them promptly.
12 - Final adjustments: Turn off the engine and recheck the fluid level using the dipstick. Add more fluid if necessary to reach the correct level.
It's worth noting that the above steps provide a general overview of the procedure. However, it's crucial to consult your vehicle's owner's manual or a qualified Porsche technician for the specific instructions and specifications for your particular Porsche 911 3.2 model.
