I needed a clutch in my 2001 S at 45,000 miles and planned to do the IMS bearing because of the model year uncertainty of single (high failure rate) or dual row bearing. When my mechanic got the car apart, we discovered a dual row bearing. Replaced it and found the original bearing was fine. I felt better since I plan to keep the car for a while. It has 68,000 miles now without a hiccup.
