I think we all know there is no "recommended" mileage for a clutch....c'mon. Wear depends on how the car was driven...city vs. highway etc. For those of us 986 owners who have bought them pre-owned, the clutch wear is anybodys guess. I do see a number of folks on this forum who are replacing clutch's between 60K and 70K..so for me...its now, at 62K with the hopes of saving the extra $1000 for a Dual Mass flywheel. For you? when it slips. But your going to buy a flywheel. With the IMS bearing right there...an item that randomly fails with catastrophic results, why not change that also? As far as the premium for an IMS bearing upgrade? I think JFP answered it correctly. The value of the upgrade depends on the buyer. For me, I would have paid $1500 more for this 60K mile car that had a new clutch with L&N bearing with RMS . You? I guess not. We will continue to agree to disagree.
