Default Valet at hotel burnt my clutch 😡🤬

‘03 w/ 94k miles. Should I replace the RMS & IMS bearing as well? Last replaced around 60k. Thanks.

Yes, replace the RMS and IMS bearing while there. If you go the LN Engineering, make sure you or your tech register the bearing and return the one that comes out (applies to the Retrofit. Not sure requirements if you go with the solution.) Whatever you do, do not replace the old one with a sealed bearing, or you will be right back where you started. Let us know how it goes.

I should have followed my gut.... historically, I wouldn't either. Just a lapse in judgement....

I would go hog wild and do as much while you are in there stuff as you can. Perfect time to make lemonade out of lemons.
