good advice, my car has 87,000 miles and i have no service history of the clutch or ims being replaced so im assuming its all original, seems the ims failures are in lower mileage cars but not always-i try not to worry but i do a little-last thing i need is a 2900 lb paper weight in my garage..my mechanic is also trying to sell me on a LN bearing like its the last one on earth, but id rather not buy one because of the totally over inflated price based on nothing but fear and possibility
