Another fine transmission lubrication product is SWEPCO. A gallon or so costs ~35USD at your local Porsche dealer. Check with Transaxle Engineering (818) 998-2739 for more application details. VORRA swears by it they say. When you drain the old lubricant, drain it into a clean container then filter it through a t-shirt on it's way to the recycler. The magnetic plug won't catch bronze bits. The t-shirt will do a little bit better on those syncronizer wear indicators. As a true last resort you can patiently pass it through a paper coffee filter to get the real scoop. Examine the remainder by rubbing some of it on your fingers in bright sunlight. If it sparkles then there is some particulates from the syncronizers in the oil. FWIW this is normal after many thousands of miles. You'll get less particulates for the same number of miles with a better lubricant...like swepco or redline. pensioner
