There may or maybe not a sticker on your car detailing the retro fit IMS bearing.
Theres no way of knowing if you have a single or double row bearing assembly by looking at the engine number.
Up to MY2000 engines have the double row bearing.
Some 2000 & 2001 engines can have either single or double row bearing.
After MY2001 engines have the single row bearing.
Seems like no hard and fast rules exist for the actual changeover - my 2001 was manufactured in February and has the dual row bearing.

some posted a detailed chart by year, but I'm too lazy to search for it. Don't know how accurate it is.

Another can't be good for resale!

Maybe someone with video editing skills could stich up a boxster instead of the audi lolll

the 911 looks like it was going much faster around that corner!!!!

Hmm, that sounds doable. I'm looking at this which is what I think you're referring to:

Pelican Parts - Automotive Parts and Accessories - Porsche & BMW

I wish I knew a good Porsche mechanic in Phoenix I could discuss doing this work with. This article Pelican Technical Article: Boxster Intermediate Shaft Bearing Replacement and Upgrade (IMS) - 986 Boxster (1997-04) - 987 Boxster (2005-06) seems to imply that a new clutch is due around 45k miles... which I'm close too. But the clutch in my car feels fine.

Anyway, thanks, food for thought.
