Have fun with your 928's people!
Thanks for the reply's I was amazed at the condition when taking the cover off. What your looking at is untouched just the cover removed it looks to me like its new but what do I know about gear boxes other than I cant see any signs of anything coming apart or getting hot.
How much hours of labour is a complete gearbox check without repairs? Disassemble and assemble the box?
I spend more time cleaning and inspecting than disassembling and assembling.
10-12 hours. Replacing most of the parts takes no time...old part or new part install the same. The exception are pieces related to the ring and pinion (bearings, damaged gears, installing a limited slip differential.) Set-up of ring and pinion is time comsuming, requires special tools, and special knowledge.

Take a close-up picture of 1st and 2nd gear synchros....that is where the problems occur first.
You've supplied a good picture of 5th gear and a lesser quality picture of 3rd and 4th. These are not very informative....by the time these are worn out, 1st and 2nd are terrible.
Thx Greg,
for the helpful answer.
I think I search an gearbox shop for my 85 S3 box here.
I can play Lego but set up ring and pinion is way beyond my mechanical skills.
