Hi,

Even though I have about 40% left on my clutch, I am thinking of replacing it and also getting the IMS Retrofit Kit installed. I was wondering how much more would it cost to have the IMS Retrofit installed when doing the clutch at the same time? I have already replaced my engine due to an IMS failure and the new engine already has an upgraded IMS bearing. I just want to be proactive and have the IMS bearing replaced while the clutch is out. Been traumatized once, not looking forward to a second time....

TIA

 

if you have a LN bearing in the IMS I would wait till the clutch is done....how did you estimate the 40% remaining clutch life?

 

Thanks. I just had the 2 year major service done. My mechanic test drove the car and told me that it was 40%. He was also the one who installed the clutch the last time.

When you say "clutch is done", do you mean when the clutch is worn out?

Thanks.

 

I had my clutch, RMS and the LN IMS retrofit done for $2100 in April.

 

Thanks. Looks like ill be doing it as well! Does the $2100 include the IMS Retrofit kit?

 

Yup. This is in San Jose Ca.

 

That is a great price! The kit alone is just $619.

 

Was that price from the dealer?

Zeeee, I'm thinking in having mine done soon at the dealer but I have been dragging my feet. The pedal is a little stiff but nothing else. The dealer technician told me I was going to need to replace it soon... This was at Pacific Porsche!

 

Dealer charges too much. I get it done from an indy. Same work, half price. The only time I get work done by the dealer on my cars is when they are under warranty.

 

What I meant by the clutch being "done" is at the first sign of clutch slippage... as in the rpm increase without the car accelerating...

 

Understood. Thanks!

 

I am also in San Jose. Seems like a reasonable price for that work here. I would appreciate the name of the shop.

Thanks in advance.

 

The. Shop is Flintworks on white oaks in San Jose.

 

Excellent...right near my house.

 

They just charged me $2,500 for the same job....
