IMS Success
Well, mission accomplished. L&N Engineering IMS upgrade, Clutch, Pressure Plate, assorted seals. This job is not too difficult if you have some experience, the correct tools and the time. I will connect the Durametric today and double check for any cam deviation of which I expect to find none. Took the Boxster out for a short test drive last night, ran great. A few notes for those considering this task:
1. Order all necessary parts well in advance, it is frustrating to stop in the middle of this job because you are missing something.
2. Double check you have all the necessary specialty tools to do the job, running to the tool shop to buy that special tool eats time.
3. Definitely have a transmission buddy or 2 when pulling or installing transmission!
4. Consider hanging muffler on the back of the transmission before reinstalling, this is challenging without some assistance.
Just a few things that would have made it a little easier, quicker. Feel free to add tips to this thread if you have performed this job.
The old IMS bearing had some minor shaft play in the bearing, nothing too serious , as has been said these things give very little warning so better safe than sorry.
85K on the car which I use as my daily driver commuting 125 miles a day.
A warm thank you to the posters on this forum who were always present when I had questions.
One last thing, set screws, if anyone needs them, I have a bag full!
Best Regards and Happy New Year,
Z
