915 transmission advise needed

I came across a 1981 Porsche 915/63 7400398 transmission which was removed from a Targa with around 93k miles. The seller mentioned that there's not past history on the Porsche as he required from in an auction. He also mentioned that he did notice a little bit of a whine when in 5th gear on the highway. Here is a list of items included in the transaction:
1)clutch
2)pressure plate
3)throw out bearing
4)actuator arms
5)915/63 Transmission


My question to the Porsche community is. What's all the above worth(1 thru 5)?
Your advised is well needed.

Are these new parts or used?

1) & 2) are the same thing.............

Maybe he meant clutch and clutch disc? A good used clutch is maybe $150 if it's in good shape (no excessive heat marking and/or grooving of the friction contact surface) and a good used disc is maybe $50. But a disc is usually too worn to be of much value and not worth the risk of installing for only a short period of time

3) is basically worthless because an unknown used clutch release bearing is often noisy and most people don't know how to rebuild them. You're lucky to get $30 for one and honestly it's probably not worth anything more than scrap metal value if it's filthy and noisy.

4) actuator arms means clutch release fork or the arms exterior to the trans? A used release fork, which is prone to cracking with age, is worth around $40. The arms on the outside of the trans that are connected to the clutch cable are worth maybe $40 each if in good shape and not excessively rusted.
