Hello,

Just bought my dad's 2004 Boxster S 550 Spyder model with only 12.5k miles.

I'm having the IMS bearing replaced with the LN bearing strictly as a precautionary measure. The shop called today and identified hot spots on the pressure plate and wanted to replace both the pressure plate and clutch to prevent possible clutch chattering when reassembled. The IMS bearing will set me back $2.7k and they wanted an additional $1.7k to replace the clutch & pressure plate which I declined.
If the car had 30-40k miles I might have had them replaced.

My question, have any of you had the IMS bearing replaced without replacing clutch and pressure plate and did you have any clutch chatter?

I also have a 911 and am familiar with the Porsche tax.

Thanks & regards,

Jeff.
