Let’s face it, it’s a BEARING and they fail. Now, we could continue to lament why Porsche did this, rather than stick with the mezger design in the first place, but that’s another discussion. I think looking at the IMS like any bearing is a good idea. Change it out on a clutch interval. It’s not particularly hard, the bearing is not terribly expensive. Too expensive for a simple bearing? Yes, but in the big scheme of things not so much. The LN products are overpriced IMO, kind of like a pharmaceutical. I appreciate the initial R&D to bring a product to the market, just fine, but at this stage of development, plus needing to buy a very expensive tool set the costs of the setup is a little nuts. Short of perhaps the “solution” the bearings used aren’t anything particularly special. And selling an oil for special use in their engines? Ok... yeah.
