This is a Tool you NEED to remove and install bearings correctly. Even pressing the Torque Converter Shaft was a bear when it finally broke free.

I don't know if that statement was from us, but we have always found three bearing units in automatic TTs with the 25mm drive shaft. We also find three bearing units in all 5-speed TTs.
The auto TTs with the 28mm drive shafts only had two bearing units as you have found in your TT. However yours is a 25mm drive shaft.
The only time we haven't is when we take apart a previously rebuilt TT.
Yours does look like it has the original bearings in the bearing units which suggests that this hasn't been rebuilt, but I can't tell for sure.
But then again nothing should surprise us anymore, Porsche did change their build specs on the fly.
Have fun with the rebuild.
