My 2017 is at 112,000km and still OEM clutch and TOB.

I downshift with revmatching all the time, so there is plenty of clutch use. I like to think I drive it properly.

So far so good! I will obviously replace the TOB when it comes time to do the clutch, but at this point I'm thinking that the clutch will go first.

My car squeals when first started but after a minute or so it stops. And the sound stops when the clutch is depressed. I guess I'll need to get the TOB repaired. Where to take it in the GTA and what should I expect it to cost? I've 80K km on the vehicle, maybe time to change tranny and diff oil too?
Might need to copy this post in the CANADA section.

I did mine in 2020 in London. I want to say parts cost (OEM bearing, OEM bearing clip, Verus fork + pivot) was ~$300 CAD? And labour was ~3.5-4 hours of work ($90/hr, London mechanics are cheap ). All in like $700 I want to say, not 100% sure. This also included driveline fluid change (trans + diff) labor. I'd advise to swap the clutch while you're in there.

They changed to the new version TOB in mid 2016 so you should be fine.

When I had clutch replaced I was on a time crunch and didn't end up getting the clutch fork. so far zero issues. If you have the time and the funds I would recommend it (always a good idea to replace weak point when you have things apart anyway) but it doesn't seem like its a must do if you aren't beating on the car and doing autoX and track days or things like that.

where did you order clutch kit from?

Thanks for link. I ordered it from 86Speed along with a new clutch fork and revised TOb for $311.
