By the way, has anyone bought the forged forks and have not had a single throw-out bearing problem since?

At ~60k mikes i replaced the old bearing with an updated one, brand new exedy clutch, and forged fork after a long issue with a local Subaru dealership where the car was purchased from. Long story short they agreed to do the work under warranty then went back on their word after holding my car for 3 weeks. It’s a long story I have them recorded agreeing to do the work etc. It’s a mess that if anyone knows any lawyers that could help with that would be great lol. regardless back on topic! Old bearing lasted ~60k miles on stock everything. I replaced the bearing with everything I stated and no more than 3k miles later it started to go out again. I’m now ~5k miles into the new one and it’s completely shot. I have no answers or help. The guy I took it to will not help me out in any way and wants full labor to do it all again when I just paid him to do it. He’s a very well trusted car guy around here and knows what he’s doing. This is my second 86 so I’m not new to these cars or a manual... just putting my experience out there....
