boxster ims bearing failure
i have a 1999 boxster 986 with 72,000 miles on the clock.
recently i am reding lots of articles about how prone the early boxsters are to getting an intermediate shaft bearing failure. even on a book i bought recently it says you should change the ims bearing at least every time you change your and flywheel, since it will be easy to reach then, and failing to do so may cause major damage to the crank instantly.
the thing is, my boxster still has its original clutch on it, and the car runs like clockwork. should i just remove the clutch and flywheel,(which i will then change to new ones once theyre out) to change the ims bearing, or should i wait for the clutch to fail first?
is the ims bearing failure really that serious, that it doesnt give you any notice prior to it failing?
any suggestions please?
