there have been a few instances of IMS issues when the car has a LW flywheel installed along with aftermarket clutch as it has drastically increased vibration and resulted in some problems.

overall, the RMS and IMS failures are basically non existent for mezger based cars.

just wanted to clarify
You are correct, my confusion of facts. I have seen several IMS, not RMS failures on 6speedonine, rennlist, and planet-9. Even then so, they are they are extremely rare in the M97 in the first-gen caymans and have happened on very high mileage cars.
