2 engine brake at higher rpm. Around 3500 or more
3 a less than perfect shift

Is this a common symptom for TOB failure? My car has this issue from day one. And it's just a noise issue. Car drives fine.

Your tob is going bad if it makes noise when you hold the clutch in at idle. If the noise goes away when you let the pedal go, it’s the TOB.

It can also increase the pedal effort, but it happens so gradually that you won’t notice until it’s fixed.
