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.

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.

Looking to get IMS work done, cheapest quote ive gotten so far is $1400 CAD (im in Canada) for the labour alone which is 11.5 hours according to them. They also have the LN engineering ceramic bearing kit for $999.99. At this price they said they would put in a clutch for free if i supply it and they can put on my muffler bypass pipes free of charge as well.
Should I go with this shop? They claim to have done around 6 of these jobs. Also can I find the cermaic bearing kit for cheaper? LN engineering sells alot of different stuff on their website which product do I need?
Lastly which clutch kit should I be looking at getting? And what else should I have done while they are in there?
Car is a 2001 C2 Cab.
Thanks!
You won't know which LN product you need (dual-row or single-row pro) until the old bearing is out - which is why it's best to work with a shop that does enough retrofits to keep both in stock...
I had mine done for about $1800 U.S. (single row) part plus labor - but I also did AoS while they were in there and a couple of other things . New rms also- which was cause of original leak and why I decided to open it up. Yes clutch has to come out anyway to do this job - mine was still > 50% so just cleaned and reinstalled.
Shops in my area (Bellevue, WA) are US$150/hour labor. Based on what you've been quoted, looks like your labor rate is around US$100/hour.
I was quoted 8 hours for the IMS and US$690 for the LN retrofit kit, plus additional $s for oil, filter, etc. meaning that the total was about US$2200.
Have you tried calling other shops nearby and what were their quotes? If this shop is the ONLY game in town and you are unable to DIY, then you're in a tight spot
Best of luck.
