Thank you all for your information and comments. Very helpful.
I was told that a complete, new tranny is necessary. I guess the TOB did a LOT of damage. My power train warranty will cover the tranny (I've owned the car just over 4 years,) about $3,400. So I don't think they'd pay that if the tranny were repairable.
As for the fork, the mechanic specifically said the fork likely threw the TOB out of alignment and caused it to break free and cause the damage.
I've done a little research and have found reports saying the forks for the 2013 BRZ were junk. So I'm going to bring that up when it comes time to pay. I'm hoping I can get the cost reduced.
I won't mind paying a reasonable amount, but $1,200 is the absolute maximum for repairing a BRZ clutch (about $600 is the minimum,) so it sounds like they're trying to get some of their $3,400 back at my expense.
I've always maintained the car through a dealership and I know how to properly drive a stick shift and use a clutch, so I know the clutch was not abused.
Waiting for the tranny to arrive now. Mechanic said car should be ready Monday or Tuesday. So I'll talk to them then and see if they'll come down at all.
Thank you again for your help and advice.
