			Was at my mechanics shop on MOnday and watched a 2005 Boxster being towed away withe a IMS failure after only 28K miles.  We just bought a 40K mile junk Boxster S with good engine and transmission to put into a 2000 S with a blown IMS failure engine. and we did the IMS bearing during the swap.  Cost was $3800 for bearing, clutch and remove good engine and transmission from donor car and replace into the 2000.
 We chose the LN Engineering ceramic bearing.  If you don't do a proactive IMS replacement, make sure you change oil often and cut open the oil filter and look for Metal and plastic at each oil change.
