Just to follow up in case anyone is interested.
Subaru of America offered $600 toward the TOB replacement. Trouble is all of the dealers around here quoted around $1200 for the job (SoA had this quote). I didn't have a good feeling that they wouldn't find a clutch that needed replacement, then I'm paying list (or over) for parts and $165/hr for labor. AllData shows 6.5 for the TOB job, +0.4 for clutch disk and flywheel. A lot different than the #s shown in the TSB.
Going to do it myself.
