I'm also starting an IMS bearing R&R. I was going thru the 2nd gear grind in my transmission for about 6 months, when new years weekend the shaft on the side shift lever broke inside the transmission.

I chose to source a used low-mileage transmission instead of a total rebuild. This will get me rolling faster and I can still rebuild my original transmission later(hopefully with a Quaife ATB diff).

I new that I had an oil leak, but I hoped it was the RMS (even though it was replaced about 2000 miles ago under warranty). No such luck. After pulling the tranny, there it was. IMS Leaking.

I got my kit from LNE today. Hopefully all goes well. I'm also going replace the inner CV joints while I'm at it.
