There is also a part number around the nut. If your lucky you can determine which IMS you have. Have you done this on your previous cars? How many of them had the bigger bearing, if any?

Out of my 3 987s, all 05 plates, the first one had the newer larger internal bearing. The second had already been done and the third I had done under my ownership Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuckie66 Posted May 7, 2019 Report Share Posted May 7, 2019 Nice one! Was coil 6 all cracked? and did the others show signs of deterioration? Makes you wonder if the seller was getting rid of 'cos of the coil pack issue when hot and thought he was in for a bigger bill? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes you wonder if the seller was getting rid of 'cos of the coil pack issue when hot and thought he was in for a bigger bill? All were cracking. I don’t think owner was doing that. He’d just spent out on new brakes and new Goodyear tyres. Another couple hundred on ignition coils wouldn’t have worried him. Genuinely think it was just bad luck and the first time in ages the car has been on a long journey. All done now so so no worries. Also replaced the near side AC rad which was leaking and inspected the IMS and good news.... it’s the internal bearing which cannot be changed and is much more reliable anyway. So no need to strip the gearbox out. RMS is bone dry as well and clutch feels fine. Still need to do the minor service and check all the brake lines properly (forgot today) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yes, there has been the odd “spare Porsche” and “mistake Porsche’” in our litany of errors. possibly my biggest mistake was selling my Basalt Black one.
