I really think you should have done some research before purchasing this unique sports car. The transmission (or technically, the transaxle) is located in between the rear wheels, the the engine up front. There is no dipstick. The fluid is check through the filler plug in the transaxle, it is also filled here. I recommend buyinga a haynes amanual. Keep an eye on the water pump and timing belt as well. If either of these fail, you will have very expensive problems. All leaks should also be fixed immediatly. If coolant leaks into the engine through the oil lines, kiss you engine goodbye. Lack of lubrication siezes the crank bearings.

It is possible to change the timing belt on your 1983 Porsche 944 yourself, It is a difficult and lengthy process and requires a car lift, so you may want to have this done by professionals.
You may forgot to pour some fluid in the differential of your transmission.
The Porsche 944 appeared in 1982 as a brawnier update to the 1975-1988 Porsche 924. Porsche began exporting the 944 to North America the following year. It was introduced in the US as a 1983 1/2 model, and was a 'benchmark' automobile for other sports cars to be compared to for the next decade.
To check the transmission oil in a Porsche 944, first ensure the vehicle is on a level surface. Start the engine and let it warm up so the oil reaches optimal operating temperature. Locate the transmission dipstick (if equipped) or check the fill plug on the side of the transmission; remove it carefully and use your finger or a dipstick to check the oil level. If needed, add the appropriate type of transmission fluid until it reaches the correct level.

2 liters, so just a tad more than 2 quarts. The fluid level should be 6-8mm below the filler hole.
