IMS preventive maintanance


Recommended Posts

Well it looks like i will be dropping the transmission again soon enough, 1st gear is popping out and 2nd gear is grinding, so a replacement transmission may be in order

I know I say a topic on here once where the IMS plate was updated and i dont remember if the bearing was also. I cant seem to find the thread again. I had replaces the cover bolts last time i was in there but didnt know about the cover update.

Does this help with IMS failures? or does this just update the rubber o-ring to aid oil sealing?

There are two different covers available, depending which type of intermediate shaft is used. They are not interchangeable, in fact the update concerns the width of the O-ring, older engines have a small O-ring and the revised covers have a much larger O ring.

so the replacement cover does not address the failing bearing or the center bolt snapping?

i am not having any leakage issues and am mainly concerned with engine failure
