I'm not an expert; very new to these cars as well. However I read all over the internet that 60k miles is the magic number.
Point of fact: there are many anecdotal instances of people who changed their IMS as a precautionary measure, only to have the replacement fail shortly thereafter.

If you ask me, based on what passes for research at my house, I'd say you're safer with an unfailed original IMS at 112k miles, than you are with a recently - replaced IMS (depending on which replacement is installed, of course).

I'm in a similar position myself, with a few extra miles. I've decided that even when I do the clutch this winter, I'll probably leave the IMS well - enough alone.
