Gosh, I'd start with a good therapist, and work out the whole rotor edge thing ASAP...

Oh, wait. Just read post. Sorry.

I'd pull it out, trans filter & fluid, referb guides and tensioners and all that engine general stuff, and reinstall. Profit.

Yeah I was thinking of just waiting until the rotors cut through the IMS.

I don't have the tools to do the job. I could buy them, but with the cheapest price on the IMS Solution at $1,698.75 then buying all the tools and replacement fluids I'd probably be close to the $4,000 mark.

Always wanted to know if you had your IMSB upgraded?

Btw the old IMSB was perfectly fine. I had it changed cause LN and JR did a great job marketing their product.
That crosses my mind too, spending $4k and the bearing is fine.

I like your thinking!
