901/911 Ring and Pinion

I’ve searched
Is there a source for new ring and pinion gears for the 901 / 911 transmissions?
Otherwise, they are all at least 50 years old with unknown mileage / wear

Thanks in advance

Albins is an aftermarket supplier. I do not have any experience with Albins but they have been represented by those more knowledgeable than I as suitable for track use. I think the expected useful life may be shorter than OEM. YMMV

I don’t stock them, but I believe they are available from Porsche Classic for around $4k.

Another option is Albins, a reputable supplier of transmissions and parts thereunto. In the US, Retro Sport is their distributor.

$4K? Ouch. I would not worry about a used R&P if the contact patterns are normal.

I posted this wear pattern which we believe the R-P are worn and as a result there is rear end noise. It is the extra line at the bottom of the gear tooth

Which did you think made it cheap: the word "vintage" or the word "Porsche"?! Cheers,

Hah, hah. Yeah, I've discovered that over the many years I've owned Porsches. A couple thousand dollars here, a couple thousand dollars there--pretty soon you're talking about real money...

It just seems that the number of zeros have increased in the past few years.

Show us the condition of the pinion gear teeth. They touch 4 times for every time the ring spins once.
