The basic issue with any "take it all apart" repair on these cars, like updating the IMS or RMS, by far the biggest part of the bill is labor; so it makes economic sense to replace everything in one go, otherwise you will just be paying for the labor again in the near future. This is also why we always replace the AOS while we have the trans out; it is a five min. job when the gear box is out of the way, not so much when it is installed. Same goes for the coolant reservoir if it is at all questionable.
