I remembered the mechanic saying something about my intermediate shaft when I had the car in for the 15k service last year but I was not fully aware of the IMS failure issue then so I didn't think a lot about it. I just pulled the service record out of the glove box and sho nuf, it says they saw a leaky seal when they pulled the trans to do the RMS and they replaced O rings on the intermediate shaft. So does this mean that imminent failure was narrowly averted, or does it just mean they fixed a leak and I still have as good a chance as anyone to have my IMS grenade itself?
