Another one bites the dust - probable IMS issue

[coreseller]

First off....Congrats MTS, I'm very happy for you on the outcome. It's also reassuring to know Porsche of the Village is a standup outfit, especially since they are close by for me. Lastly, I did the IMS Retrofit in my garage without a lift and had no prior experience working on Porsches. It really was not THAT big of a deal, it just required a little research, $150 or so in hardware (jack stands, trans adapter for jack, sockets), Bentley manual and patience. I probably had ten man hours into the job and could likely shave 2 or 3 off of that if I had to do it again.

I'm impressed. Thats a real "Macgyver" technique if ever I've heard of one.

You could do the retrofits on the side and make some nice $$ and help out some Forum members too? Idea...

Naa....I'm getting ready to take on another project with my oldest son to teach him the value of wrenching and work, I'm lucky to have two sons who are also gearheads. Frankly, if my transmission would not have needed a rebuild I would of sent it down to Jake for the work, his prices are fair for what is involved. That transmission issue just complicated the process so I did it myself. In all honesty....if anyone wants to hollar my way regarding taking on the IMS project go ahead, I'd be happy to let them know what helped me out.

With all of this health care reform going on, we should establish a Porsche HMO to deal specifically with IMS. We can also write Barack and tell him that there are some forum members who work for AIG, and maybe we can get some stimulus money.
