Yes, we all know that, but it's a complete crapshoot. The only way to tell is to pull the tranny and look at the flange. Even then, it's not always easy to figure out and you have maybe a 50/50 shot.

So, let me rephrase: "every 'S' model has a single row IMSB unless you're willing to pull the tranny and prove me otherwise (with pics)".
Of course, Shrödinger would say that until you look, you have both a dual row, a single row and no IMSB all at the same time.

Shrödinger . . . Isn't he the engineer who developed the IMS? My mistake, he is the one who developed the Cat Back exhaust system. Sorry I couldn't resist.
