$1200 to R&R and diagnose the transmission. Parts extra, and likely some labor installing seal(s).
Will inspect RMS and advise from there.
Recommending the IMS... LN Engineering, non-oil fed. ~$800 for the part... couple hours install... budget another ~$1200.
It's the IMS. The 'while we're in there' makes sense... but is it a wise purchase? Opinion?
The car will be going to this shop... I'm on the fence about the IMS (a$ will be my wife, lol).
Thank you.  |
Regarding the IMS, if I were in your situation I'd go this route:
Sourcing Your Own Porsche IMS Bearing
If the OEM NSK bearing held out this long, I can't see spending 16x as much for a non-OEM part. Just my opinion.
Good luck.
