Close to 83,000 Km
If anything, I always thought it could have been the engine to go first.
I don't abuse the car, even though I often accelerate for a few moments
in the highway just to stretch a bit.
I always thought I could take it to the track one day, but
now I'm having second thoughts- pay (A LOT) to play.

Thanks Tim.
I got some pictures this afternoon of the differential.
ALL the ten bolts of the crane wheel assembly were BROKEN!!
Some pictures:
Picture 1: Crane wheel - notice damage to the gear.
The 3 visable bolts are broken- they rotate freely by hand
Picture 2: Crane wheel - broken bolts
Picture 3: Pinion - probably useable, but Porsche will not sell me the separate part
I must buy complete differential ($5,000.00 CDN ) EDIT: LABOUR NOT INCLUDED
and give then the broken one in exchange
Picture 4: Differential - it goes right in the front-center of the car- it will be returned to Porsche
as an exchange for a new one

I hope Porsche can shed some light.
The only detail I can think of, is a slight click it used to make if I turned the
wheels completely in any direction, while maneuvering either forward or in
reverse. I was told at the time it was normal on AWD.

How about making this your unique 2S? How much would that be?
People over on 6speed remove their FWD drivetrain on their 966TTs. Are they the same part numbers? If so, would that be a cheaper way to source replacement parts?
