Wow that Indy must still be on 1990's rates.

Well, it's "job well done" to Exclusive Motorwerks in Denver, NC. Would highly suggest to those who have the slightest anxiety over this issue to get it done...not that expensive for an insurance against a blown engine, and if your VIN is on the list of "suspect" cars, it should increase [or at least maintain] the value of your car.
They did hand my clutch back to me and said that I should save it for the next time I need one, as this one is hardly worn!

Recently had IMS replaced with LNE upgrade, RMS, Clutch, PP, TO bearing, Flywheel, OA sep, water pump, low temp thermostat, reseal leaking oil pan. Oil and filter. ALL needed. 51k miles on the car. could have done most of the work myself but NO garage anymore. Total P&L $5300. Top Indy in area. Porsche dealer told me the had to split case and replace shaft. Problem started when I noticed small oil leak. Probably just RMS, leaked oil was pretty clean. clutch was shot and scored the flywheel, couldn't be turned. water pump was leaking. Bottom line I FEEL better having the IMS done, rest of work was necessary too.

I had this work done on my 2000 C2 Cab this past Nov. Included was a new clutch kit w/out replacing but turning the flywheel, although no signs of issues...L&N IMS update, again no issues...but new RMS, oil/filter change,and a few other minor parts. Out the door tax included, $3300 at an Indy I use and trust. My local dealership quoated me almost 2k more for the same work!

Thanks Brent! Nice to know your IMS was in good shape as it is good news for those not having done the switch yet.
The reason I asked as to whether it was dual or single-row is that there is a common belief that yr 2000 was a transition yr for IMS bearings for 996s. Linking this info with your VIN could help us determine where the transition took place. Some say it was more in 2001, which is credible as well but no one is really certain. Every little bit of correlation info helps! Cheers!

I recently did my clutch and RMS myself, and had the flywheel turned (by a local shop) with a total cost of roughtly $600...Decided not to touch the IMS (visiual inspection looked fine)...

If you notice, the 996 is referenced as '98 model in Europe even though we didnt' get it til '99. Also some websites will reference parts for the 996 model as starting from '97-.
This is where some people are confused because there is USA, ROW, and manufactured date that gets thrown around without any real or further clarification sometimes.
The official transition year is '01 USA model year.
