In essence those who put off this repair are rolling the dice just to squeek a few extra hundred dollars out of a clutch that still has a some life in it. Those rewards do not outweight the potential costs of the risk. At least install the LNE Guardian if you're going to take your chances.
I was already going in there to fix the leaking rear main seal covered under warranty. Made all the sense in the world to get the bearing out. Whats confusing is I thought the leaking RMS seal would of turned out to be the Ixx leaking. Nope IMS looks good. As you know, there are a few who have lost there engine to this problem with LESS miles than me.
