A lot of good information here, so thank you!
94k miles, bought car 60k certified pre owned.

Last winter my 2014 BRZ started making a whirling sound when I pressed the clutch but only during cold starts. It goes away after a few minutes of driving. No other symptoms. Once the weather got warmer the whirling sound was completely gone on cold starts.
Fast forward to last week when temps dropped to the 50s and the whirling sound is back again during cold starts when pressing clutch and it disappears after a few minutes. Cannot hear anything from the outside of the car and the car drives perfect.

I’ve decided to change the clutch (oem),tob(revised),pivot ball, flywheel.
My dilemma is the clutch fork. Do not feel like spending $200 on an upgraded fork when I’m using oem clutch.
Also, are there any clutch kits that come with the revised tob?

My 2017 is at 113,000km and counting. Curious how much longer the "revised" TOB is with the different grease they use.

My car squeals when first started but after a minute or so it stops. And the sound stops when the clutch is depressed. I guess I'll need to get the TOB repaired. Where to take it in the GTA and what should I expect it to cost? I've 80K km on the vehicle, maybe time to change tranny and diff oil too?
Might need to copy this post in the CANADA section.

I downshift with revmatching all the time, so there is plenty of clutch use. I like to think I drive it properly.

So far so good! I will obviously replace the TOB when it comes time to do the clutch, but at this point I'm thinking that the clutch will go first.

*knock on wood*

The Exedy OEM clutch kit i got comes with the updated TOB. I would think most of them would come with the good one now but best to check.


When I had clutch replaced I was on a time crunch and didn't end up getting the clutch fork. so far zero issues. If you have the time and the funds I would recommend it (always a good idea to replace weak point when you have things apart anyway) but it doesn't seem like its a must do if you aren't beating on the car and doing autoX and track days or things like that.
