IMS seems fine
63,000 on 2003 C2 Cab. Runs great, but plan on doing IMS when clutch is replaced.

'99 C2 6-sp coupe, 94,500 miles and still ticking on factory original IMSB and RMS and clutch. No leaks. No issues. Have owned this one since 2004. I bought it when it was five years old and had only 6,000 miles at that time.
