Worth it to 'check' IMS bearing during clutch? Clutch recommendations?

Guys, I only try to educate people about the available technology for the vehicle based upon my direct experience with it; at the end of the day, it is your car and your money. If you want to buy a $20 IMS bearing because you do not like the way someone else warrantees theirs, be my guest, no one is holding a gun you your head to make you purchase something else.......................

JFP says it best. It's your choice to spend your money with whatever developer you want. Factor in the their various warranties into your price calculations, but there is little value in bemoaning the developers' business decisions.

Hey, JFP. I didn't mean for you to get all offended. I hope I made it clear how much I appreciate you and your vast knowledge on these cars. And I wasn't trying to take anything away from the product, as I've also stated.

All I'm saying is that if they make the claim that it's the "permanent solution" it's somewhat disingenuous to guarantee it for only 5 years. Especially for what they're charging for it. I wouldn't buy it no matter how they guaranteed it. That was never my point.
