Replacing IMS with Original bearing

[Bala]

It has gained my respect for sure. Though I am not happy about the cost. But that's just me.

I drained the oil and found maybe 3-4 tiny metal bits. The filter had a few small black plastic bits as well. Very tiny. My clutch is fine but, there is slight oil leaking from the bottom of where the engine mates to the tranny. So am going to wait it out with the IMSG installed. The way I see it I will not be totally confident with the IMSR alone installed. So, will need the IMSG as well and this will be one step closer to a good night's sleep.

Thanks all for the discussion. Very informative and helpful.

We make bundle packages with IMSR and IMSG quite often, it saves a little money.

Jake,
i ordered the guardian. Honestly I want to wait for Pelican kit to compare as I'm still on the wall with the ceramic factor. PP kit is 3-6 weeks away is what I'm told. Anyway it gives me some time to drive around with my new buddy Guardian.

Removed the oil pan to prepare for IMSG install and surprise! Metal pieces in the pan. They look like someone left some aluminum tray inside that got chewed up. I'll post pics tomorrow but at this time I am not a happy person. Need to drop tranny and take a look at the ims. since the entire suspension, axle is out better to do it now than later.
