Will warrenty cover throw out bearing?

Does anyone know? I have heard some say that "premature" clutch wear may be covered but what about a squeeky throw out bearing. The clutch does not need replacement yet but the bearing does.

It's not your bearing most likely. Check out this link, it's probably just your slave cylinder/clutch fork squeaking.

What I mean is that I can hear a squeek when stopped at idle. The squeek sounds just like a loose belt but stops when I put a little pressure on the clutch pedal.

I doubt it will be cover as it is a "wear" item but good luck. You won't know until you ask.

Hey let me know if you find out if this is covered or not. My warranty runs out at 100k and I'm at 95,xxx miles right now

update: I wasn't able to take my car to the dealer due to it being in the body shop, so no news on warrenty coverage.

So, since I'm already close to 60k miles and this is the same clutch that I learned to drive with I have decided to just replace everything.

What is a good flywheel/clutch combo for a GC RS?

Paying for labor is not an option so how difficult would it be for me to do it myself?

I have an Exedy clutch and flywheels combo in my RS, I love it. The install is fairly involved, especially if you don't have access to a lift. Subaru Specialists quotes about $400 for a clutch replacement, so I would recommend letting them do it if you can.

He's not replacing his wheel bearing, he's replacing his throwout bearing. And wheel bearings are covered under the basic warranty if you don't replace your wheels.
