Any info on why the IMS was done (prior issues?) and with what product? An IMS can be just a seal or a $1000 part, specificity.

Hi mikefocke. I'm assuming you asking me about the IMS.

I called LN Engineering when I found the sticker with the kit number on the driver side door sill and they verified the bearing kit was sold (total dual bearing/seal kit) to an Indy shop in Denver. From what I have been able to determine is was preventive, no issues, and was done at the time of a clutch assembly replacement. It was done about year before I bought the car. I have put 6,000 miles on the car and no issues.

After seeing what everyone has been paying for 00S I feel I was in the correct price range.
