IMS bearing inspection

[Topless]

It looks like these guys probably "get it" when it comes to IMS issues.

I'm not quite sure how a shop can pull the trans and replace the clutch, pressure plate, and flywheel. Then re-install the trans for 480 quid, but charge another 1K for a 2 hr procedure . I smell fish.

Something seems off in the numbers.

In the US, the cost of replacing both the IMSB and the clutch is about $2,200 or $1,360 pounds. Parts alone are roughly $1,100 or 680 pounds. If one adds 20% VAT to the parts, then the total cost goes up by $220 or $136 pounds. This would bring the total out the door price to $2,420 or 1,496 pounds.

I have no idea why you're seeing the numbers you do unless the shops are double counting the labor hours. The incremental labor to do both jobs is two hours or less.
