I haven't tried Sunset yet but all the usual sources (Pelican,AA,Automotion, etc.) The most expensive bearing is the Pinion bearing that seats in the case. There is a guy on Ebay selling this bearing at a huge discount. Any experience with these?

Check with Rich at HPH. It's not worth buying a cheap bearing to put in the middle of the transmission. When the bearing goes, it will take out the ring and pinion and cost you more.

It's interesting that Carquip is offering the same bearing on Ebay as the link I posted. It must be a legitimate replacement albeit for a different application (read:not Porsche).

I'll be making some calls but still welcoming your suggestions.
