Very sorry to hear about your issues. I hope it's something easily fixable (read inexpensive). I'm personally torn about whether to do preventative maintenance on mine, clutch and IMS....01, base, 70K miles, with several trips to the track yearly. It doesn't need a clutch but dangggggg. It sounds like yours was maintained very well...low mileage oil changes, etc etc. Which is a real bummer, since I do the same thing. Not at 1,000 miles, but no more than 7K. And still this happens.

Based on your postings, I'm assuming you don't abuse it..no over revs, but don't lug it either, keeping the revs above 3K when possible? I wonder if there's any possibility that the relatively low annual mileage and longish storage, might have anything to do with it? Wondering and, for my sake, hoping, since I drive mine year round and have been putting 12 K miles on it per year since I've owned it. (Don't take that the wrong way.. I have no ill wishes for you at all. I'm pulling for it to be something simple) But if driving it and accumulating mileage will help prevent IMS issues, I'm all in for that!

I suppose the best solution is to drive it and fugggget about it till (and unless) something happens. Not sure what else a person can do, without spending boatloads of cash. sigh.
