have you ever had the transmission fluid replaced? if it was filled incorrectly, this can happen.
no, but i just bought the car a month ago.

what makes you think it is the ring gear in the differential?

other than inspect cv joints (is there a way that depressing the clutch could remove cvj noise????), is there anything else i can / should do to inspect for the obvious?

what would a porsche vet be looking for when driving the car that would be indicative?
