Porschevirgin1968 Posted September 15, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2023 This is a receipt for the blue Porsche with the dodgy dealer, lol. Why would you change the clutch and not do the IMS? Engine number 62502728. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would you change the clutch and not do the IMS? Engine number 62502728. Any number of reasons. What was in there looked fine and the owner didn’t have the money to change it would be another good one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not according to the guide, it falls in the numbers of a gearbox out only. I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

½cwt Posted September 15, 2023 Report Share Posted September 15, 2023 (edited) It says front crank shaft seal, not IMS which is at the back of the engine. IMS is not automatic to change with a clutch even on a 986. 6 minutes ago, Geoff888 said: Cos it’s an engine strip to change the bearing?? Not from the engine number he has given. It is an early car with the single row smaller IMSB in the late 2001 onwards 986 motor. Edited September 15, 2023 by ½cwt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried calling and emailing this garage, still have not got back to me 🤔 odd. Pity you can't rock up anymore like you used to, everyone wants appointments to go view cars.

My 996 had the the clutch and rear main seal changed but not the IMS. I didn’t know this as I hadn’t asked or checked but when selling does seem to be an area of concern for lots of people.

½cwt Posted September 15, 2023 Report Share Posted September 15, 2023 I refer you to the new item in the technical section: 18 minutes ago, Geoff888 said: I’ll say it again Other than the very early cars with the M96 not M97 engine the 987 has a larger, but still single row, IMSB which has very few reported failures. Much like 986s up to 2000 which have the dual row smaller bearing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menoporsche Posted September 15, 2023 Report Share Posted September 15, 2023 In 12 years I might remember 4 catastrophic IMSB failures. I don’t remember if any were 987. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
