The latest PET, which includes parts for the RS (option M 003) confirms what Viken has stated above. It lists just one part number, without the M 003 option, for the 1st/2nd shaft for G96.90 and G96.96 gearboxes. For gears 3-6, it does list the M 003 option on the standard ratios (Mk 2 AND RS) and lists an optional part number for 3rd-6th,but the optional ratios are associated with a box called a G96.93.
Conclusion: the Mk2 and the RS have the same designed box for gear interchangability.

This means the literature on the web site is incorrect and should read that gears 3 to 6 are interchangable, NOT 2 to 6. 
Accuracy here is same as Porsche's Ceramic Composite Clutch statement in literature posted above.
It seems someone at Porsche who *knows* the cars should proof read their advertising
I wonder if the mainshaft in the pure racing variants has an interchangable second gear?

FWIW, I think you meant to type M004 for RS. M003 is the Clubsport option.

Viken-
Does this mean the case for the common mainshaft first and second gears in the GT3 and GT3RS is not closed until we look at an "M004" parts list?

New conclusion: My previous conclusion was wrong and I only added confusion to the discussion.
