About to pull trigger on IMS job - can I get some opinions?

I had the whole works done plus a brake/clutch fluid change 2 years ago and it came to ~$5K CDN so using today's exchange rate that is ~$3,800 USD. So considering the flywheel your $3,349 doesn't sound too bad.

PS Mine has the Sachs and it works beautifully.

He said the RMS is no problem, but also suggested the EPS RMS solution kit - does anyone have experience with this? Is it worth the cost over just replacing with an oem RMS?

Don't do it. This system requires machining the engine cases which is both risky and totally unnecessary, and locks you into using their seal only. The $20 factory PTFE seal will work just fine.

I just did one on my buddy's 2005 987 S also using the LN bearing and if the clutch kit includes the flywheel, clutch disc, and replacing the throw out bearing and ball pin I would say the labor time is fair.

We also replaced the seals/o-ring behind the throw out assembly. Also, remind your indy about the triple square housing fastener to make sure he has the right tool.
