might as well why not. tell them it's making the noise and get a new clutch.
thats what im doing. i have the noise sometimes and the gear grinds in reverse sometimes.. i found this to be really strange. and if the idiot behind the counter tells me it's the way im shifting im going to pull him over the counter and beat him with the shifter knob in my sock.

Why not is that your vehicle is likely to be damaged during the procedure. There are going to be scratches over the console and they are likely going to tear the crappy outer boot and have to purchase a new one along with the bezel that will be damaged. When they put your scratched up console back together it is going to fit closer to the floor before leaving a gap around the bezel that allows the vehicle to be more noisy than before......
Do you really want the dealer assembling your vehicle or the manufacturer?
I had the squeal. Had both tsbs done about 2 weeks ago. Mine shifts perfect now. but I have all the other negative items above with a five star dealer. good luck.

call me paranoid
My dealer's service department has really impressed me so far. A good dealer is very hard to find.

Problem Solved
After I dropped her off at 8 am, I came back at 330 pm and picked my baby up.
The dealership replaced the clutch and the throwout bearing even though they didn't have to do the bearing - they said it was a little worn.
talk about a dealership doing one hell of a job... a little above and beyond I think
All noises gone, drives like she's brand new.

Then you settled and didn't make an issue about it, my dealer is also a 5-star but they would have fixed their screw-ups, after messing up the shifter knob, scratches, etc, they replaced it no questions asked. You should have had them fix their crappy work.

They didn't change mine... I was told the shifter boot was not installed right so they reinstalled it. It quit ticking for a while... then it came back. I'm moving to Gainesville this weekend so I can't afford to have the dealership here attempt it again. I'll have a dealer over there fix it. I really need the TSB for 06-001-08 so i can know what I'm arguing about. It's been documented twice now that I had this problem before 12k so even if it goes beyond the clutch warranty I can still argue that they have to pay to fix it and not me.
