My TOB has started to get pretty loud until it gets warm just recently. I'm about 88k miles now in my '14 FRS.

Bob at Drift Office in Washington has a unique fix he encourages. He has GT86 quill cerakoted by Performance Coatings. His claim is that he has not had any return yet, but seems too early to know for sure. But cerakote is a tough coating product, so my plan is to do this when I finally have to pull the trigger and go in to have this fixed. Nice to find that the '17 TOB is the part I need when putting in a new one. Being this is TOB related, has anyone put in the Verus clutch fork in? If you fix the TOB this way, seems like you wouldn't need it, but just curious if anyone has any feedback about it.

I'll probably put a new clutch in as well, even though I don't need it, the mileage is high enough I'd be silly not to swap out to a new one. But clutches are a different topic to discuss in a different post. Appreciate the info in this forum, really helpful when you're stuck scratching your head about something on these cars.

Here's his FB page I found it, look for Jan 6th post as it's down a ways.

I hope this helps some folks, it's definitely my plan when I have to get this work done. Which feels like it may be sooner than later if the squealing of my TOB keeps increasing.
