No more worries for the IMS to go BOOM since that has been replaced.

The short shift kit I actually put in was not the one that you change the shift lever its something that ties into the transmission part of it.

Historically, many have preferred the 997 shifter to short shifter (there are even posts of people taking out a short shifter and replacing with the 997 component).

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.

Finally got the time to have her brought to the shop to have her surgery. They will be performing a clutch replacement, aos, IMS, RMS, transmission flush, oil change and short shifter installation. Can't wait till she comes out of recovery hopefully tomorrow and good as new...
The timing of your mishap stinks, but you seem to have the right attitude regarding the fix. Can't wait to hear how your Porsche drives when you get it back.
time and money well spent: you're getting all of the more common headaches out of the way. Now you'll have some peace of mind while driving and not obsessing about the IMS bearing, etc.
Well done - enjoy it!! [Let's see some "after" photos, minus the flatbed truck!
...and...now you're starting with everything really solid.

Will let everyone know how it turns out once I get the car back. The short shift kit I actually put in was not the one that you change the shift lever its something that ties into the transmission part of it. It was from b&g or r&m something that usually does make the short shifter handle.
Tell me about the CV joints. Do they just repack them or actually change out the bearings? My car was a 41k mile donor with 2 years of hard racing and I haven't touched the half shafts-yet....
Great news! Car came back home tonight and I'd like to give two thumbs up to Alden at Flintworks in Campbell for the great job and fast work. Had it back to me the next day. Thank goodness the flywheel was fine so that saved me some $$ for mods. Car drives and shifts smooth as silk now with the new clutch set up. No more worries for the IMS to go BOOM since that has been replaced. Alden said that the bearing was showing a little wear as it was a little bit hard to turn/spin. AOS is new as well as all the fluids. The short shift kit actually feels really good. I'll have to find out what it is again.
So happy the perma-grin is back..
about how much was all the work? Assume you used the Raby bearing? I have that same under tranny SS still n the box, too. I put in the 997, and was pleased enough to not feel I had to install it right away, but I still want to try it.
A good point you bring up.
Unless you send your engine off to Porsche for a larger unservicable bearing, currently the LN IMS bearing is still the only "consumer" option available.
Pelican still does not have their kit available:

Part #: PEL-IMS-1 $TBD
That (IMS bearing) is what made me decide to get a 997.2 instead of the 997.1. The 997.2 has the 9A1 motor, which does not have an Intermediate Shaft, and consequently, no IMS bearing.
