Re: Tip failure

My 02S tip only has 60K miles, but probably not worth much more than yours.

Given your situation, I would probably go with the local indy shop and their rebuild guy. The $600 more is probably worth the extra peace of mind. I am presuming you would get some kind of warranty on the work. If not, then I would probably consider the aftermarket rebuilt unit. And yes, I'd go ahead and to the intermediate shaft bearing while the tranny is out of the car.

Keep us posted!
