Oh man! Tell me that the damn thing just fell out.

Nope, when we bust the tranny away from the engine this is what we'll find!

What are the stats on that engine?
Year, model, # of owners, driving style?

BC.

53K miles.
Not sure of the other details yet.

The failure report will indicate all of this, after I tear it down.

What's the odds of it just laying there?

You got it! What lurks under the bearing flange is another failed IMS bearing! This one had just seized.
