Need new clutch, flywheel, slave cylinder. Help!
Clutch failed yesterday in traffic. Pedal sinks to the floor. Dealer looked at it today. Says i need new clutch ($740), flywheel ($430) and slave cylinder ($76). With 5 hours of labor at $625 this is coming to around $1900. I called around and looked around and see clutch/flywheel kits online for much much less. Thoughts?
This is a 2004 RX8.

Whaaaat. The master and slave probably need to be replaced but I would question why the clutch and especially the flywheel need to be changed. Was there some catastrophic damage to them?
Also did they confirm it's not just the broken pedal assembly for which there is a TSB?

Getting taken to the cleaners on parts. Should be able to find the Exedy clutch kit on Ebay for $300. The labor cost sounds about right though. Just make sure it's an Exedy clutch kit as it will have everything needed for the job. Mechanic can get the Slave cylinder @ $76 that sounds fair. Though to me, I would just change out the master and slave cylinder for now as it doesnt seem like the clutch is the problem.
