These are for sealing the throttle lever shaft

One on each side of the separating plate (the plate which goes between the
diff and the gearbox)

Dunno - can't find these in ETKA

ETKA lists a separate "gasket kit for differenital" - p/n 087 498 007. The
elements which are of most interest are:
010 409 549B - the large o-ring that seals the diff/gearbox junction
087 409 549  - o-ring, seals the pinion cover
089 409 637A - 4 o-rings, seems like they go under the bolts that secure
the pinion cover to the diff housing (?)
087 409 529B - 2 each, looking at the picture it seems like these are the
seals for the pinion shaft (directly responsible for mixing fluids),
however, ETKA calls them "sealing washers" rather than "seals".

I've heard it's possible, however, looking at the car it seems like there's
not enough clearance between the tranny and the chassis to do it.
