Why do you care so much? Just curious...

I see you drove around for 10 years (or however long you had it) without an LN bearing. Now you are a crusader. It reminds me of my sister, who was a big smoker for years, now has become somewhat overbearing in her opposition to smoking.

I also fall into #4 - thinking that the odds are in my favor, even though I agree with you on;

99.9% of Boxster owners will never know what that ratio really is.

The problem is, that percentage is exactly the same for the LN replacement. If I got the replacement I would be paying a lot to reduce the unlikely possibility of a failure, not eliminate it.

well I'm not about to go knocking door to door with Jesus brochures on Saturday morning..

Believe me I would have done the IMS upgrade sooner if it even existed then.
In those days you'd hear about this issue, no feedback or admission from Porsche and no one in the aftermarket willing to even attempt a resolution. Then we hear there's a possible solution that will not require a major surgery but is in fact simply part of a clutch job? no brainer.
