OP describes TO bearing failure, which does not apply to an auto box.

I mean under what circumstances could an auto box cease to function and the dealer say it is a wear item and deny coverage for it?

Auto transmissions classify as covered warranty components within the Drivetrain portion, because of it not being manually engaged by the driver. Such as if the auto transmission does not engage into gear correctly, or harsh engagement, clutch noises, smells. All of those components are covered with it being a Auto Transmission. You may ask 'Why?', because of it not being engaged manually.

Had my squeaky clutch looked at by dealership at 35,4xx miles. Got all the above replaced under warranty.

NEUTRAL PEOPLE.... ITS A BEAUTIFUL THING!

SO A DEFECTIVE BEARING IS NOT EVEN A REMOTE POSSIBILITY? THEN IT MUST BE THAT EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US WHO HAVE HAD THE THROWOUT BEARING FAIL DONT KNOW HOW TO DRIVE?

I heard noises while pressing in the clutch first.like a metal scraping sound. This is the sound before it failed.

According to Greg, over here, we don't know how to drive stick. Maybe we can get a group rate and discount for lessons from Greg, eh? I know he's an expert, cause he uses all caps for emphasis. He must be like a jedi of stick shift or something.

I've been driving manual for 17 years and my FR-S got its throw out bearing replaced under warranty. The car was less than 3 years old and had less than 30k miles at that time. Any other manual cars I had before had no problem with clutch. The one I drove the most had 65k miles mostly city through 6 years of ownership. If it's not the car and is the driver, then at least that car with 65k miles should have had the problem with throw out bearing.

[Tt3Sheppard]

I just wonder if its a defect since some people are already at 100k with no issues.

I had mine replaced at 19k miles because the sound popped up. Since replacing it, I swear the clutch feels better and it doesn't have a sound anymore 3k miles later.

I had my1983 Supra for 15 yrs and like 160,000 miles, mostly city driving. Original clutch, never replaced.

Throw out bearings should not fail
