Mine blew 45 minutes away fro the dealer and I drove it there anyway. Can confirm that clutch-less shifts are indeed possible. Was an interesting drive.

Can anyone confirm that the Exedy TOB is a POS? I think I heard somewhere that the OEM clutch is an Exedy. |

Cinder blocks, bricks, etc. are a huge no-no. Never get underneath anything supported by them. You never know when they will fail.
Also, remember to support the engine to keep it from flopping forward when the transmission is separated from it. Otherwise, it will be a nightmare trying to get it back together.

Makes sense, thank you for the info! I'm just hitting 60k miles and anticipate this being pertinent information soon based on the number of threads I see about this...

I have seriously considered buying one and keeping it in the glove box, so, if I'm out in the bush somewhere and the TOB goes bad, I'll have the right one for the local Bubba to just pop in there. humfrz |

I just looked up the DIY for clutch replacement and the pictures are gone! It says something about 3rd party hosting has been temporarily disabled. Something to do with Photobucket. Whatever that is.
What does this mean? Are the pictures gone forever or are they being held ransom by some third party? I was really hoping to use the DIY as a guide but it will be a lot more difficult without the pictures. |

You can pull the procedure up in the service manual. https://demos.starbase7.net/t3Portal..._rm_index.html

The way I look at it, the one that just blew was definitely the old version because the car was built in 2012. And they didn't know there was a problem at the time. And it lasted for 129,000 miles. So I think I'll just roll the dice and take my chances with the one I have. When it does blow, at least I'll know what I'm up against to replace it. Plus when it blows it will probably time to replace the clutch anyway. |

The main reason why these are going bad on earlier models isn't the part, per se, but the grease that was used. It doesn't withstand the heat it endures, so it breaks down over time and results in the TOB going out. I don't know what other changes were made to the new TOB, but I do know the grease was changed to a more heat-resistant one. There's no guarantee that the TOB that comes in the Exedy kits has this. By not spending the $40 on the updated part, you run the risk of this happening all over again later down the road.
Tcoat has referenced the new part. There's a Subaru branded one and a Toyota, but they're really the same thing. I would go with the proper brand just to be on the safe side if a warranty claim should arise in the future. |
