That gets old really fast. Believe me.

1. I’ve noticed on here a lot of talk about the OLD TOB replacement part, and to make sure I get a NEW version of the bearing. How will I know if it’s the new version vs the old?
2. Will a regular shop even know what I’m talking about, or do y’all recommend just taking it to a Subaru dealer repair shop where they are familiar with these engines?
3. I think I can get it to the repair shop, but will it hurt the car even more if I drive it to the shop? When I press the clutch I hear wining and grinding and so on. Doesn’t sound good, but I can get it in gear and once I left off the clutch it drives fine, should I tow it, or will it be ok to limp to the shop?

Make sure you get the part number on the TSB below. Double check them since some still have the old part number in the system.
You may be able to drive it but if you push it too hard it will take out the whole clutch. Turns a $200 repair into a $1200 one in a hurry. Believe me!
