Here's a nugget from that thread..
"I don't know if the issue is completely resolved or not but the intermediate shaft has been redesigned. I cant say when exactly it was introduced or give an engine number range but the new style is very easy to recognize as the nut on the end is now something like a 24mm instead of the old 13mm. Anyhow pretty much all of the 05 and early 06s still have the old style shaft so 9x7's are still very susceptible to failure. For what its worth I have not seen a new style intermediate shaft fail, or leak for that matter. "
Does anybody have any more information on what the redesign actually is, and what dates the "new design" took over? Has anyone heard of a a failure of the new design?

I would have to guess this was done when they tweaked the motor for the 987 launch. My neighbors 04 model lost an engine due to IMS failure so not in that year!
