you betcha no plastics or nylon allowed!!my tiptronic trans went out on a 03 986 boxster.175k miles. decided to do maintenance while waiting for replacement transmission, even though have never heard a peep out of the IMS.
Was amazed to find a 6204du bearing in it. 2 for 10 bucks on ebay. basically the bearing in my riding mower cutting deck!
read all I could stand on the ims replacements, and saw many wars from different people selling different things- roller, double in a single ceramic, OEM , spray oil thru it, all sorts of stuff. etc.
VXB has a 6204 double sealed ceramic with steel cage for 42 bucks, and someone's review there said excellent replacement for Porsche ims.
just kept searching and stumbled across the microblue site. ceramic deep groove, cryogenic frozen and heat treated. At 85 bucks figured is worth a look at one.
I think almost anything would be better than a Poland 6204du!
It looks like a neat idea, just wondered if anyone out there has ever seen one...
