Well I'm most likely going to get the mazdaspeed flywheel within a couple weeks (backorder problem) and called my closest dealer and they ask 500 to install the dam thing. I was going to take it to a local guru that charge me almost half that price. here's the dilemma in order for me to keep my powertrain warranty i have to get it done through a dealership (correct me if im wrong) so option two is close to being out the window so my question is do any of you guys know any techs in a nearby dealership (south bay) that wouldn't charge an arm and a leg to have this installed? or does 500 sound about right to you? in that case ill just wait till i replace the clutch too. thnx in advance.

 

5 bills is about right. Flywheel replacement requires a tranny drop. Too bad you don't need a clutch likely yet while it's out.
