I'll add I have not yet dealt with changing the IMS bearings. The prior owner recently had a new clutch installed but did nothing to address this potential issue.
With dealers charging north of $125 and hour, you are better off buying your own Durametric system for about $290. Use it more than once, and you are ahead of the game, plus you can resell it later.
