Hello Ben, I hope you see this. I want to thank you for taking the time to post these vids. They are very inspiring and entertaining as well. I just completed a DOF IMS , clutch replacement on my 01 Boxster S. I made all the tools req and saved some cash. If you ever find your way up to Alberta Canada ( I recommend summer time lol) I would like to buy you a coffee or beer. Hope all is well with you.
American ingenuity....... I made a tool many years back when I rebuilt a Ford AOD transmission. A clutch spring compressor. So I agree with your approach and my hat is off to your ingenuity.
hi! I just randomly picked up one of your videos and decided to thank you for very informative and helpfull videos. I have a cayman 987.1S and most of your infos apply to my car aswell. I have learned alot about cars and maintanence and also saved alot of money. Lates job I did was my starter motor squeek, using only your video guide. keep up posting and have a good summer!
Super Thanks, nice and great info, I do need to know where you bought the IMS bearing from, I was going to buy the roller bearing kit, but I'm going with you on the Hybird ceramic bearing, Thanks again.
hey, once again, love all the vids on the boxster. I am curious what your take is on the LN ims solution, the one with the oil fed plain bearing, no rollers. i have 2000 box, just did a 5k oil change at 40k on the clock. def a little wet under there, keeping my fingers crossed its just the rms until it gets warm enough and I have the $$$ to do all the clutch, ims, rms, underdrive, water pump, etc. gonna have it up on stands for a bit wrenchin.... ya loan out the tools ya made??
I really like the LN plain bearing. I think it's the best solution of the bunch and possibly the only permanent solution. Time will tell... Anyway, you've got the right idea. swap it out when you're in there. I haven't thought of loaning out the tools. They're pretty simple to make, but I'm open to loaning them out if you want.
thanks for the quick reply. I found the guarantee with the LN solution is no good unless it is installed by an approved installer. Luckily there is one under an hour from my house. So I may not need to invest in extra tools (lemme tell ya how many Miata specialty tools I have) just need to save extra cash to have someone do the work.... keep on rockin the boxster!!
Ah, yes, I seem to remember LN saying the IMS solution *Required* professional installation. I don't know what all is involved, but I'll be interested in the consensus after it's been on the market for a few years. It would be nice to have a truly permanent solution.

Thanks for doing this series. I’m preparing to do this job myself and thanks to you I have a really good understanding of what to expect!
Thanks for all the diy work on your 986...it was really informative. I suppose everyone who owns a 986 would really appreciate what you did..

For the camshaft lock tool, wouldn't aluminum stock work? Easier to grind for us diy'rs.
