So I now know what killed my gearbox. One of the ring gear bolts failed. It took out my case. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif) It looks as though I can still use the gear stacks as nothing is wrong with them (wear is the unknown variable, although I have kept up on oil changes and clutch adjustments). The ring and pinion gears have all their teeth and look OK but further inspection is still needed. Check out the pictures below.

Bob Grigsby at RMG in Sunnyvale worked on my transmission when I bought my car. He is retiring, but might still want to do special projects like this. He is still at the shop through the end of the month so you can reach him there in the mornings. Otherwise, you can speak to one of the Dan's there

Yup. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif)

Some parts in there then they might be worth harvesting, so I wouldn't toss it, but regardless a whole new transmission is the easiest way to salvation. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Only M-Th. RMG doesn't open on Fridays, at least as of last year. Thankfully they're in walking distance of home for me, makes dealing with two finicky old Porsches easier. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Mike,
Thanks for the offer. I sent off a PM requesting your cell number. Hopefully you'll see it before you leave home. John and I are good to go.

Not a common problem I would think......fast forward to the 80's VW Golf boxes had rivets and when they parted company the crownwheel would do a fairly successful job of an exit out the bottom of the gearcase.
The early diesel boxes were more prone to this ,I fitted one of these boxes to a project 2L GTI the rivets can loose after a short test drive,had to return home ASAP,the noise was nasty
Then in the 90's the 02A boxes did the same with the 20V GTI's and VR6's,this was finally corrected with the next version.
Appears the OP got good service after that mileage and now has a shed full of used boxes (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) ,great folks on this forum (IMG:style_emoticons/default/grouphug.gif) .

Thanks for the offer, Rob, but the replacement unit is already in the car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) Just need to install a few ancillary items and go for a test (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)
