Angry to all my people with a 5spd

I bought my sc300 a couple months ago and it needed a whole new clutch kit so being
That my brother works at lexus I took it there to have it replaced. Before I got it replaced the throw
Out bearing made a loud squeaking noise and when I pressed the clutch slightly it would go away.
After it was replaced the noise was gone but a couple weeks later the TOB started making noise
Again. So I took it back to lexus and the fixed it for free. Now a couple weeks later which leads to
Now, the TOB starts making noise again! Has anyone had this happen to them or does the lexus
Mechanics suck.

on my last SC it needed a clutch really bad when i got it, and the TB squeaked, after replacing the clutch, pressure plate and TOB, everything was fine for a couple weeks then it got a slight squeak again that of course went away when i pushed the clutch in a little.


so i guess yeah i had this same issue, it wasn't real loud and it didn't do it 100% of the time, but my new TOB definetly squeaked sometimes..

At least I'm not the only one but I'm wondering if there's a permanent fix? Cuz its pretty
embarassing to pull up in front of people and have that noise

I have a 1jz, FMIC, slammed on Buddy Club Race Spec coil overs, full custom 3" exhaust and it makes enough noise that I could care less about the squeaking because of the way it moves out when I am leaving

When I did my clutch replacement, I didn't get any noise like that. The only thing different is that I changed out my slave cylinder. Now I don't have the w58 anymore... good luck with the fix.
