Hey guys need help trying to figure a problem with my clutch, whenever I put pressure on the clutch pedal I hear an annoying grinding noise. I researched it and it says it's a worn throw out bearing, but I don't know? How can I resolve the problem? Do I need to get a new clutch as well?

 

replacing the TOB is basically the same amount of work as doing the whole clutch, so yeah might as well replace the whole thing (and new clutch kits usually come with new TOB and pilot bearing)

Also there is a known issue with the 08+ wrx firewall pinch welds breaking that cause the clutch cyl to make really weird noises, might need to get that looked at too.

Text me if you have any questions.

+2. T/O bearing still means whole clutch. You don't open it up and not replace the whole thing.
