Exactly. If I were changing the clutch, or had to drop the trans for some other reason, I'd probably change it. But other than that, it's drive more,worry less.
And also, the numbers don't make a lot of sense. Let's say your car is worth $12k. If the IMS goes, your roller is worth maybe $4k. So, you'll have an $8k loss. Does it pay to spend $3k to eliminate a 10% chance of an $8k loss? (and let's not argue about the %) In theory, it should only pay to spend the money if it cost $800 or less.
