$3500 IMS Solution Home
$2250 IMS Retrofit Gen 2 Gen 2 Single Row Pro IMS Retrofit
+$840 if clutch is needed
+$1035 if flywheel is needed

The above repairs include replacement of the rear main seal, crankcase bolts and upgrading to a spin on oil filter
There are also some other repairs we would recommend at the same time depending on mileage and service history of the vehicle."

End quote.
Does that seem right to people? It seemed way high to me but it IS a direct quote frm a non-dealer Porsche shop.
Just for perspective:

Cost of good beer.......$varies depending on individual taste
Drop transmission.....$0 and about 3-4 hours labor
Clutch / DMF / RMS kit from Pelican...$1200 isn't it?
IMS.....$650 to buy, about $250 to have Indy come to you while trans is pulled
Reinstall.
Profit.

Do CV boots and other little stuff while in there. It's all nuts & boots.

More than my Ranger, but reasonable for what it is.
