Since I can't shift it's moot anyhow, it would help to know if a way to change the ims in the 2.5 without opening the entire case has been developed. Given the cost of a used engine or rebuild the car should be parted out but as I said my cousin deserves it if I can make it happen somehow...

Year of the car? if you don't mind.

2.5 engine indicates it's at a minimum 12 years old but could be 13 or 14...
