I'm having my IMS bearing upgraded to the lnengineering bearing next week at a local independent shop. Car (2001 base) has 44k and no IMS or RMS issues, but I'd like to be proactive about preventing one from occurring (mainly the IMS) and the shop is running a special on IMS bearing upgrades. The clutch on the car also works well and seems fine, but would it be silly to try and save $$ by not replacing it while the IMS job is being done? There is no extra labor involved in changing the clutch, just the cost of the clutch kit.

Thoughts?
