My response to the original question... sure with the transmission off, remove the flywheel, lock the cams, remove the IMSB flange and inspect the bearing as others have suggested. I did that on my blue 2000 and plan to do it on the green one this year. If it is tight pull the bearing seal off and button it up. But that's just me...


Love it.


OP: If you are thinking about an IMSB failure... just replace it. Then you won't think about it.

I mean how much is an IMSB set? Most of the PITA is from it being behind the trans, and the cam locking.
