Nice to hear.

I'm not going to touch mine I don't think. I've heard some people having a failed IMS bearing AFTER they've changed it, and it's written off the engine. Some people have had the original bearing and are over 200,000 miles.

So people have had them fail before and after changing them, and some people have had no problems on original and new bearings. But like you, I'll check mine when it comes to changing the clutch.

Good one though
