That's pretty much what I've resolved to do as well.

The throwout bearing (new or old) requires a specific lubricant at several points, we've found if the proper lube is used and is applied properly with the updated bearing 99% of the time this cures any bearing issues. If an inferior lube is used, or it is not applied properly issues usually return. The Subaru P/N for this lube is 000041000 and comes in a toothpaste like tube. 1 tube is enough for many clutch/bearing jobs.

Iono about the lube. In my experience, the factory stuff separates and gums up pretty quickly. Is the Subaru 000041000 tube the same?

I guess if you have a flat driveway or even better a garage. I know that mine will need to be done again this year because it's already starting to make noise, it's been about 40k since the clutch was done last time. Anyone local to the NY Metro/upstate NY/New England want to help me do it? I haven't pulled a tranny in 27 years |

At 50K miles on the clock I basically got a rebuilt engine, all new clutch/TOB, and spark plugs done for the cost of parts alone. Hopefully I’m not speaking too soon but I did wanna make sure I popped in here to report a success. |

@gravitylover
@Opie Just another update. Toyota couldn't find anything (they pulled the pan and said it was clean), so not sure where the oil leak was from, they also tried to do some cold starts to check for noise but they don't think anything is out of the ordinary. The noise has become less harsh without a doubt now, and its likely only because I know it was there that I can still make out that clattering noise, so I its possible that whatever was causing that initial pressure imbalance has started to right itself. I just took her for a dyno - stock baseline. Pulled 6 times, 108, 110, 111, 112, 112, 111 (kw). Good enough numbers, Trent at chequered identified no issues in the logs. The 5th pull had a knock detection, which brought the mapping back a little to make the 111 on the last run, but that seems pretty normal as it was part of the ecu learning once the dyno runs started. Runs amazing really (car also has no cabin noises, which I thought was odd for a 7 year old car). I will keep checking for oil leaks, but its possible that I have a similar thing as gravitylover. I'll give it another month or two just to be sure about the recall, then the mods are going to start going in! Very exciting. |

Hello everybody,
I am a french driver of a french Toyota GT86 from 2013. I just Registered on your forum. Toyota has now started in France a Spring Valve Recall Campaign and unfortunately my car is on the list...as I understand some failures have occurred in other countries after recall, failure possibly due to sealant issue. I understand you have no statistics available on how many engine failures have occurred after recall but can you at least give feedback? How many cars of people on this forum have encountered this engine Failure after recall? Once recall performed is there any possibility to check oïl lubrication is running smoothly? Does the engine Failure occur rapidly after "repair" done? Any suggestions? or comments, that you consider would be helpful? Thks and Rgds |

After the work is complete you can pull the oil pan and check for sealant. If you have an oil pressure gauge you could watch it closely but if only one channel is blocked it will not give you warning. The majority of failures occurred within a few thousand kilometers. Some lasted a little longer but the majority happened pretty fast. I would suggest that you wait and get the recall done later so the techs learn the proper way to seal the engine. If you are not forced by law just leave things alone and don't have it done at all.

Hello Again,
Thanks for your answer. Do you know when the spring retrofits/replacements were done on these 55 cases? (I mean was it in Q1 or Q2 or Q3 or Q4 2019) . Is there still any recent Failure case (end 2019 or early 2020)? and if Toyota and/or Subaru have modified their retrofit procedures since these failures after recall have occurred? If I understand properly the different mails on this forum, Toyota and Subaru have in the majority of the cases refused to replace the failed engines rejecting the cause of Failure (sealant uncorrectly cleaned or installed), correct? Have some of the owners facing the failures issue made a legal claim or gone to court to get compensated? |

I had mine done early on by a dealership I trusted, and it was done by their lead mechanic. I was the 5th or 6th one he did, with no failures to that point, at least according to them. I have over 20,000 miles on it since then with no issues. That said, mine was done before the failures started occurring or at least reported in "large" numbers. Had I known then what I know now, I wouldn't have had it done. The failure of the valve spring and its repair is covered by the recall as well. My car had over 120,000 miles on it when I had it done, there was really little chance mine were going to fail. I primarily did it as a cheap way to get some other work done at the same time. Hindsight being what it is, probably not worth the risk even though it worked out OK for me.

IMO I reckon you should drive as you normally would (not harder or gentler), and check for leaks in your driveway, and be mindful of strange noises between 2k and 3k revs - if no issues then I'd probably suggest going back for an early service after 5k km's regardless. |
