How many of us have not changed the IMS

Did mine at 50k. 2000 S, #113 double which was in good shape.

So you replaced it then.......

Unless someone tabulates responses into a statistical analysis of failure incidence, no conclusions can be drawn.
My 2000 not-S seems fine. I doubt if former owner(s) replaced IMS bearing. Clutch is smooth at 104,000 miles, the last 1,000 by me often at 7,000 rpm wishing for another 1,000 rpm in second gear on Palomar Mountain.
I am so pleased with my car. It deserves top tires which I installed (Yokohama Nuevo AD08R).
