A) do it. If they found metal in the filter I would not drive it at all. That means something is wrong.

B) after it's fixed, drive it more. 3.5 years and only 11k means you're missing out on way to many smiles man.

JMHO, your results may vary.

Here is my suggestion. Why don't you go get a aftermarket warranty for 4 years ( about $4000 ), since you are paiding $2800 anyway.

I'm headed out of town so can't get the breakdown for you but I paid $2800 for the clutch and IMS together. I'm in FL and you are in NY so you may need someone closer to comment on reasonable prices up there. Good luck.

Min job would be 100 oil change 650 bearing and 10-14 hours labor at x/ hour in your area. I would go to the person who has done the most bearings, not necessarily the cheapest. Labor is shared so might as well go the clutch.

imo this is good advice.

but i do think clutch + ims fix should be 2800, not just the ims fix alone.
