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.
