The service rep called to make a claim for me, and they decided to cover it under that. I thought I was suckered into it when I bought it, but a $50 deductible vs a huge hole in my wallet was pretty nice.
As far as getting it fixed under that 3yr/36k mile warranty, it's sort of hit or miss depending on the dealer. I've seen a few posts where they actually covered it, and others where they wouldn't. Good luck!

Nice, I'm glad the extended warranty covered it. I bought my car used and ended up getting suckered into buying a third-party warranty (probably because I was only buying that car because my stock WRX engine sucked a valve), but that warranty obviously doesn't cover TSBs or any manual transmission related problems. I ended up bringing it to a local shop and got my brakes and spark plugs done at the same time, ended up totaling at $2,000. A bit more than I wanted to spend but I'm glad it's all squared away.
I did get the new updated TOB and everything seems fine. Although the Exedy OEM replacement flywheel has a bit more chatter than my original flywheel.
