I just had a dealership do my clutch and IMS bearing. They also replaced some oil seals, spark plugs, etc. It was about 6K, which I thought was horribly excessive -- talk about sticker shock! But I'm glad to have the IMS bearing done now I can drive the car all day long without the nagging feeling in the back of my head.

Make sure they replace the IMS with an LN Engineering one and not a Porsche replacement. The LN ones cost about $900 or you can spend an extra grand and get one of their new ones that get a constant oil supply and are guaranteed forever. I almost went with that and kind of wish I had.
