When I bought my 2000 S at 103,000 the previous owner had just done a clutch and replaced the seals but didn't replace the IMS since it was a dual row and the shop said it looked good. As soon as I bought the car, and before I even picked it up, I had the shop do the LN dual row ceramic retrofit and it was around $1300, so not too bad. The parts cost is the same either way, it is just the labor or dropping the transmission that is duplicated when doing the IMS separately from a clutch job. If you do replace it, you'll know that the old was in still good condition, and that it wasn't failing when the previous owner replaced it and then dumped the car.
