Am I reading this correctly: this car went in for a new clutch early in 2012, when the LNE dual row bearing was already available for some time (or at least a less expensive non-LNE replacement) and this shop Jim Ellis had everything apart and kept the original IMSB in? If so, I don't get that. What serviceable bearing, tied to a make or break event, lasts forever?
