It all depends. There is a short window where you can replace the is bearing with a greased sealed bearing drop the pan then do a few quick oil changes and there is a good chance you'll be ok. No shop would touch this but if the IMS is not damaged it can certainly work. If you have the ability to get to the IMSB yourself and are lucky enough to have an intact intermediate shaft, buy a bearing from a bearing supplier, install it and get back on the road. Running the engine any further will tend to eliminate this possibility.
