    Yes, the price was quite reasonable. I feel blessed as I am very unemployed right now (~22 months). Got to give a shout out to God and Alden at Flintworks in Campbell, CA :thumbup:

    The total price for replacing the RMS, IMS (using LN Engineering IMS Retrofit $619), torque converter seal, the resealing of my oil scavenger pump and an oil change was ~$2,300. This investment vis-a-vis a $15k+ engine is priceless. :thumbup:

    My new mechanic just sent me a video of my IMS. He was not kidding that I got 'lucky'. What is the old saying, 'a picture is worth a 1,000 words'.

    p.s... By the way I was never advised about the IMS failure issues by the Porsche dealership in Oakland, CA where I bought the car in 2004 (car had ~17k on it), nor the one located in Santa Clara, CA that has serviced the car since purchase. And sadly, I called the latter just before taking it to the independent shop yesterday and when I mentioned the IMS to them, they were still not forthcoming about failure issues. When I asked about retrofits, they advised they do not use the LN Engineering product - just their product. Oh well, nuff' said.

    I own a 2000 Boxster-S with ~62k miles on it. I've had a slight oil leak for little over a year, previously identified by a Porsche dealership technician as an RMS leak. It went from 'weeping' to leaving a noticeable drip. While reading numerous Porsche threads, I noticed all the chatter about the IMS failures and immediately took my car into the closest of a few independent shops noted in several threads (the one located in Campbell, CA). The good news is that we caught the IMS in time. It was definitely in pre-failure mode, still functioning but deteriorating. The owner/mechanic (Alden) said I 'got lucky' and that it was 'just as bad if not slightly worse than the one I showed you on my desk'. So, I had the LN Engineering IMS Retro-Fit done, RMS seal replaced, torque coverter seal replaced and oil scavenger pump resealed. Yes, a few things were leaking. Anyway, I just wanted to thank the forum village for sharing their experiences as it literally saved my car :thumbup:
