Statistical fluxuation and dependant events. No one really knows but this
poor beaten and now dead horse is probably 1 out of 20 996 M96 engines.
Pretty much everyone doesn't care anymore because these cars are old and
only 5% had design RMS/IMS flaws.
The next time an owner replaces the clutch they have the oppertunity to upgrade the Intermediate bearing. You do it.
The great advantage of the potential financial hardship is that owners are
almost giving away the 996.
I jumped on board and got one with 70K. Very inexpensive.
80K on it now and no problemos.
The IMS Guardian is another solution but is way overpriced.
Change your oil often... Slice open your oil filter and inspect it for small metal
fragments.
