What are the symptoms of the transmission that make you think the pinion bearing is bad? Last I checked, many of the transmission internals weren't even available separately? Porsche keeps moving to a "replace the whole unit" type of "efficiency".

Porsche has released all the standard service parts for 996 and 997 gearboxes. The only catch is the need for a 50 ton press and having to come up with some special pullers that Porsche and Getrag won't sell to you.

The pinion bearings are known for going bad. They are a sealed bearing and it has led to a number of premature failures.
