I have successfully replaced three dual row IMS bearings as of yesterday.. We have found the tools and made a few that allow the dual row bearing to be removed! LN Engineering has also made a silicon nitride ceramic bearing to replace the unit with as a complete drop in! This means that preventive IMS measures are now a reality.. BUT we are still very much in the development stages with this and would like to get 100 beta testers out there (with us installing the bearing) for at least two years prior to offering this as a "solution" to the IMS issue. Look for a step by step procedure on my site soon as a step by step pictorial. I did this job in 6 hours yesterday, including R&R of the tranny, start to finish! One of the bearings I installed first has been in service for 3 months already. I'm game and only a few hours away. Will this work for an 03 S? -
Yep, I had the same thing and just took it to my indy mechanic. We found out that both rears are bent, so off they go to get straightened.

I've got a bit of a vibration issue in my 03 boxster s. Its right around 2800-3000rpm, and i feel it most in 3rd gear, however it turns into a kind of pulsing in 6th on the highway. I'm thinking motor mount, but I'm not sure. I just had the wheels and tires roadforce balanced, though it could still be that. But that wouldn't explain feeling it around that RPM all the time.

It does work, you just have to tug on it a bit. I had to wiggle mine for a minute or two and then it finally came out.
