NNNNNope. Just thought your sale would go better if you added a little more info.
Oh also what year is kind of important. I suppose I could look it up by the drive ratio, but it is important for people looking to buy 944S 88+ are worth more than the 87 in most cases due to the short 5th gear.

All 87-88 944S used a turbo gearbox (i.e. all Turbo Gears and large bearings, so they all had the 0.829 5th) with the a 3.889 R/P, which is not the same as the N/A 3.889 R/P.
The 924S and 88+ 944 N/A's had the 0.829 5th instead of the earlier 0.730 5th. The rest of the gearing (1-4) is slightly different than the Turbo/S/S2 gearbox.
The 89-91 S2's used the turbo gearbox with a 3.875 R/P and a 0.778 5th.

Nothing specifc, just offhand knowledge of these cars - what do you disagree with?
You should be questioning the info in the other posts on this thread, as there is some confusion there.

Clarks is a little wrong on some of their transmission information. IDK why.
I have been told several times to watch out for 87 944S when looking for a short Fifth gear because not ALL of them used the 083D (short 5th turbo style). I was told it was only 100% on the 88+ 944S.
The 924S (1987+, but the 1986 was ROW only) use the 016J which has a n/a style gearing. This also applies to the 1988 n/a like stated above.
Red is for the 924S and 88 N/a. Blue is for the turbo style transmission which is found in the 944S. The PET and Oddjob both say all 87 944S, but I was always told different which is why I posted what I did.
Hopefully this helps everyone.

I parted out an 87 S which was #194 according to the VIN. Build date was 8/86. It had the short 5th, as the car was running and driving within my family before it was hit.
I doubt Porsche would install random R&Ps, so I'm thinking the vast majority of 944Ss have a short 5th. If car #10 had a long 5th, that would be another story.
