Was thinking about bringing it down to the dealer to see if I could get it warrantied before it's up in 2k miles.
If the TOB is bad and rattles when it's cold, it may turn to whining when it gets warm. Then it will scream, just before it freezes up and chews through the fingers of the pressure plate.

So, I agree, it may be worth a trip to the dealer.
