Are you saying, I could just ignore the magnetic particles on my filter?

Here at our facility we have installed over 200 units in retrofit applications and an equal amount have gone into our engine builds. This product took over a decade to invent, develop and patent.

I am not sure if total units sold through LN, because I have nothing to do with sales.

LN does stand behind their product, if the installer completes the process as directed. My position with LN is their developer and not thing more. I assisted with the founding of the company, was their first customer and have remained their largest customer. Over 15 years we've done a lot together.
I'm NOT sure on this, but it seems like someone on here has said that IF you haven't had it happen within 60k miles then it's LESS likely to happen After that! Is this True or Not? Thanks!

No not yet, it was in the shop. They are getting to it this Monday, and I need to decide which way to go Monday. It could be single or double rows, they won't know until they get in there.

If it's a manual just replace it with the clutch. Not that it would go out, but it's pretty low hanging fruit to take care of, easy to do with a clutch, and there are many kits on the market that should work just fine.

Or, a person could just as easily take the bearing out, inspect it, and put it back in if good with a few hundred dollar kit.

They removed the old IMSB, Apparently everything looks fine with it. No play in the movement and no discernible roughness. A couple of speck of metallic glitter which could indicate early signs of failure. For $926 plus tax more, decided to go with IMS "solutions".







My clutch was a goner, less than 6mm in thickness

sanjeevan,
Did you do this work, or did a shop carry it out? If so, what shop?

Jake it's the same shop I've pm'd you earlier.

http://p3autokrafte.com/

These are the credentials of the mechanics

I know they are not certified by LN engineering, however I am comfortable going with them, given their credentials.
