Exactly! I would love to put the LN one and be done with it. The 600 bucks is not my concern. I'll still not be at peace unless I put the Guardian to watch over me! So, with the LN really not proven statistically or otherwise I think it's the same risk as the original bearings. At least at this time.

Checked Hartech website and didn't see anything on the IMS bearing. So, sent them an email.

Let's see where all this ends. Maybe when I drop the tranny I'll find that the PO replaced my IMS bearing with a one made of diamonds! Would that reduce the failure rate? Well at least my wife can have a necklace out of the debris!!!
