Wow - I would have guessed more by the posts. See what I mean by perception? I've been one here for over a month and thought the count was way higher. Thanks for that information.

I counted over 19,000 registered members. Members list (30 per page x 647 pages) 30x647= 19,410

But I'm sure people come and go.


FYI: jmho (just my humble opinion).

I doubt there are more than 40 regular posters on this board. Most only come on to ask a question or lurk. When I said 3 failures I was only including members who posted here regularly. For such a small group that seems WAY TOO HIGH.
I've found similar situation occuring on the Pelican and Rennlist 911 forums. Small comunities with a few too many of these catastrophic engine fails.
Obviously not scientific but I think the probabibility of the failure is one of those type of pitfalls that can happen at any time to any car and the mere fact that it rarely happens is more a matter of chance. I don't like leaving my car up to chance.

I can not believe that they'er people out there that think IMS failure is "Hype" if it is hype I guess Excellenc Magazine must be in on this profit scam too because thay have an entire article written on it in this months issue, Please get real. I do not care about what other people think all I know is when my Box. needs a clutch replaced I will also replace the IMS/W Flat6 and RMS, all at the same time.

I have a 99 Box.W/58k miles on it.I will prob. have this work done this winter.
I love my Box. it is my DD from mar.to dec. and I think replacing the IMS is a small price to pay for pease of mind.
