Who and how much was the transaxle rebuild? ours is not LSD so that might be something we do in the future.
Re-reading your troubleshooting no-start I'd take a look at the fuel pressure regulator also, if it's sticking too much fuel pressure can prevent the injectors from firing.

And yes, all the exhaust bolts sheared off so there's quite a bit of work to do there. I'm looking at hardware and gasket kits now. The tough one is the studs on the turbo down pipe which requires intake removal.

A local shop did the syncros Transmission Masters in La Vergne TN. They have a mechanic that worked in Germany for a long time and he knows these trans axles well. My cost was $2000.

Thanks for the reminder on the FPR. I did meter FP on the rail and that was within specs. My intent is to go through the Clark's list again and see if anything is amiss.
