Rondo, I purchased my 986 with 73k miles with the intention of doing the clutch and IMS in the spring. I knowingly and specifically purchased a 986 with this looming IMS issue and included that along with a few other upgrades and maintenance into my planned budget. I have read numerous times how well made the Boxster is and that it is one of the most reliable cars made. So it has one weak spot that does not rear it's head on every 986. Fix it (improved design) and then drive with complete peace of mind. If you lose sleep over it, fix it sooner. I read here that Flat Six Innovations (Jake Raby) has a bearing coming out in the February time frame. I figure I will wait to see if and how that one works out or just get the LN engineering kit. The clutch is in the same location so might as well do that while you are in there and have peace of mind that the clutch is new.
