If you take it to Toyota then go there with the TSB printed and hand it to them to be sure they use the new part. If they have the old part in stock I wouldn’t put it past them to use that one regardless of your request and there is no way to know which one you get without dropping the tranny. At 55k your clutch and flywheel are probably fine. If you take it to another shop I would buy the TOB yourself and bring it to them to install. You are fine to drive the car to the shop.

The new TOB is $20 and you can get an OEM clutch/flywheel/TOB/pilot bearing kit for about $375 on amazon. I wouldn’t use the TOB from the kit, use the one you order from Toyota. Anyways, just to give you an idea of what all the parts cost.
