2.5 986 Boxster IMS - Anyone had a failure

[pattyg]

I’m buying a low mileage 2.5 and the big worry for me is the possibility of the IMS failing despite me being aware that the 2.5s dual row IMS is more reliable.

Anyone on here had a 2.5 fail?

I recently had mine changed on a 2.5 at 110,000 miles only because the clutch and RMS were being done. Otherwise I wouldn’t worry on a 2.5.
The clutch pedal should have a a relatively light pedal, if it’s heavy then you’ll be changing the clutch soon as I had to.
