How are the Durametric cam timing deviation readings?

I'd definitely replace the RMS while you're doing the clutch. IMS...do you plan on keeping the car a long while? Would you like to have total peace of mind? Is that worth another $1000 to you?

I did it on my '02 S when we pulled the trans to replace the leaky RMS. At 68k, my single row bearing had no signs of failure (shaft didn't have any play at all), but the seals were definitely blown.

I'm quite pleased to be able to use the car as it's intended and not think twice about it now.
