Definitely recommend getting it done sooner than later!

I'm at 79k kms (49k miles) and so far no weird noises. *knock on wood*

Was mostly curious because spike and I got our cars around the same time and it's not super common to see 2017+ with TOB failures but they certainly still happen even with the updated part.

From what I've read here though I know that as soon as it starts getting noisy to not ignore it so it doesn't take out other parts with it...

I guess it would depend on how hard you drive your car.

If it's just your daily that brings you from point A to point B, then it'll probably last longer than someone, like myself, who does occasional Sunday spirited driving and WOT on almost every single on ramp.

mitsubishi's used to have a dent in the hood from it!

I believe some of the earlier 2017’s didn’t get the updated TOB. I thought I checked my VIN against a TSB for it a while back and it didn’t come up as one of them but anything’s possible.

I generally do pretty ok with operating the car, except the first couple months. Like I use the dead pedal most of the time, don’t rest my foot on the clutch pedal, minimize clutch slipping as much as possible (basically only in first or in reverse), etc.

I think the shop actually gave me my old TOB in a box so if I can figure out how to tell if it’s bad, I’ll upload a pic maybe lol.

Yeah maybe this too. I’ve done a track day and a car handling “autox”, plus canyon carving. I also honestly drive it hard (not recklessly) on the street, more like just shifting late at upper rpms and stuff.

So that could have all contributed, plus the learning manual on this car thing.

i stripped down my donor engine for the heads

[weederr33]

Did my 60k mile oil change today. I feel it's been forever since I've done it, but that's to the fact that I live very close to work and haven't been driving as much this past year.

Dude, you are wearing harbor freight gloves, pick up an engine stand next time you are there. So much easier to work on shit.

Yeah, I just assumed they were corrections. I was board and was watching during a web meeting that should have been an email.
