Read the article, it spells out whats happening when teh IMS goes. Next issue will have a retro fit install....

As said above, it's a good issue. I've read most of the articles and will be saving the 918 article for last. Next up tonight, the "911E, 911S, & 911T" article.

So has anyone done this upgrade? Is it worth it on an engine with 90k miles?

Has anyone gotten the IMS fix described in "Excellence" on their 996? How much did the installation cost?

LN Engineering IMS upgrade is about $400 for part and $100 for tool. Do a search in form for IMS iin this form. Labor Cost would be same to pull transmission.

As far as I know I think three folks have done this on here BruceP(at the shop), Shark Attack(at home) & me(at home). The part is $519(single row) or $595 (dual row) + $70 for the tool. Anyone in LA/San Diego area can borrow mine if needed. It's not a hard job at all.

My bearing appeared to be fine. But my theory is that if my car made it 55K miles on one clutch, the next time I will be in there will be at over 100K(fingers crossed), so I figured I might as well get it done. It's $600 insurance. You never know if you're going to need it, just like helmets, seatbelts, and fix-a-flat.
