Couple of “fly’s in the ointment”………. TIPS do have IMS failures, just not at the rate the manuals do. As there are far fewer TIPS, that would seem to appropriate.

The cars that get the loving Hell beat out of them, street and track, seem to fail less frequently; cars that are low mileage and babied seem to fail more frequently than cars that are beat on. So much for the smooth shifting scenario……………….


Cars that get past the IMS "sweet spot" miles (45-60K) seem to go forever (125-225K miles not unusual), regardless of how they are treated.
