Some Scion tC owners report experiencing clutch failure and potential transmission bearing issues around 67,000 miles. These problems often necessitate clutch replacement, which can cost between $1,529 and $1,729, including parts and labor, with an estimated labor time of about 6.9 hours. Additionally, input shaft bearing problems are common, characterized by a roaring noise when the clutch is disengaged, which quiets when engaged; this issue is documented in Toyota Technical Service Bulletin S-SB-0008-13. If the input shaft bearing is faulty, it may require attention during the clutch replacement, potentially increasing repair costs to around $3.5k Canadian dollars for comprehensive transmission repairs. Promptly addressing these concerns is crucial for maintaining the vehicle's performance and safety.
