Read evidence and context

Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Discussions that performed work without a confirmed outcome: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

I'm still not 100% sure of what I'll do, but the plan is to wait until I need a clutch and have it done then.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

This may be a repost so forgive me if it is, but I've never seen it here. Pelican Parts has an awesome tech article write up and pictures on IMS bearing replacement using the LN Engineering retrofit kit. Also included is general engine rebuild ect. A lot of people talk about the IMS and issues surrounding it, but rarely do you see pictures and a step by step guide like this. http://www.pelicanparts.com/techarticles/Boxster_Tech/Disc162/BoxsterTech-162.htm

POST 2Original post

Adam, are you thinking about having it done? My CPO runs out middle of next year, and Renee has already approved the bearing (peace of mind).

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I'm still not 100% sure of what I'll do, but the plan is to wait until I need a clutch and have it done then. It makes the most sense to do it that way. I only have 35k miles on the car so clutch replacement is still a ways off. Odds are the stock bearing will not fail anytime soon so I'm willing to take my chances.

POST 4Original post

my clutch needs to be replaced so I'm having to deal with this question now. Too bad I also need shocks! Dang if only $6K just grew on trees!

POST 5Original post

Jake Raby has a video on u-tube - not sure if it is what you want. Check his flat6innovations site and LN Engineering.
