The Subaru guys didn't have anything to do with the work. They just identified the noise when the Toyota guys didn't have a clue. They were never even going to work on the car.
The Toyota guys continued to show they don't have a clue when they created all these other problems.
FWIW, even though they messed up other things, the noise definitely went away with the new TOB.
Also, it's not just a stiff shift into 1st and 2nd. You really need to push very hard to get it to go. So hard, my daughter couldn't even get it to go into gear. Yes, she probably could have pushed harder. But it should NEVER be so hard that anyone thinks it is blocked out. Cold or otherwise.

eh after breaking in my car, my clutch has made a lot of weird sounds, including some squealing, off and on especially on start up over the past 50 K miles with the original TOB before the update and I've yet to have any issues with shifting. Would not be surprised if y'all get some weird noises again.
from reading everyone's stories working with dealerships, they are very hit or miss. the 86 platform is not a common car for toyota or subie dealers to work on, half the time the sales people & even managers don't even know toyota sells a sports car. maybe take it to a local shop that sees a lot of twins to have another look.
