M is the standard 3rd gear in 914's and they should be plentiful.
S, T, Y, and Z are in the optional 4th gear territory, although Z is short enough that it could be useful as 5th in a rallye car. i don't know if they were standard in any car.

as always, value is closely related to desirability. a gearset that came standard in no road car is going to be rare, but unless it's exactly what someone needs for a particular application, it may be of lesser usefulness (and therefore desirability) ...

from time to time, the V8 guys still running 901's like the optional 'H' 2nd gear for its ability to run as a very tall 5th with the drive/driven gears flipped. as most Porsches came equipped with 2nd gear integral with the mainshaft, 'H' was always an optional ratio...

I priced a 1st gear at Otto's and it was reasonable. Unfortunately, it was not the one I wanted ...C.I did find a B and bought it at 400 bucks.....which was more than Otto's wanted. Car Quip wanted 600-700 (IIRC) and didn't have the B gear. If I was shopping for more, I'd try Otto's again.

M is not the standard gear for 914's. That would be N!

I have a bunch of 901 gears. I sold an X to a fella for $200, I really have no Idea what the gears are worth though..

Well maybe I do, I bought a gear I needed from Gary Fairbanks for $300

Car Quip is a rip-off
