Once Toyota and Subaru fessed up to it, they released a newer TOB with better grease to withstand the heat.
You'll want to use the new TOB that Sub/Yota released, not the Exedy one. Or else you might risk another bad TOB. To answer your question, I'm VERY happy with the new TOB I got (Toyota's, but identical to Subaru's). The car hasn't felt this great since I bought it. I bought the car used, so I'm sure the previous owner messed up the clutch and I didn't have it long before the TOB started going out. I had less than 10k miles of ownership, the ODO was at 35k when the TOB started acting up.)

Ah ic. Thanks for the clarification. Looks like I'll be getting the Toyota TOB for my brz, as well as the OEM clutch and flywheel. Can't wait to finally get rid of all the squeaking from the clutch fork and TOB.
