It is the original clutch. I'm not too worried about imminent IMS failure because there is no evidence of any debris from it in the filter or sump. That being said, it will get a new clutch, rms and ims bearing in the not too distant future.

Got the car back over the weekend - new front tires, fixed torn CV boot, new seatbelt retractor to shut off warning light. Drives like a new car with new front P-Zeros - the old ones were very worn and scalloped on the inner edges and made a tremendous racket. Much more pleasant to drive now without the incredible noise from the old tires. Plan to drive for awhile and decide on the clutch, shifter, RMS and IMSB in the near future.
