So aparently i tottally killed my clutch disk which isnt too big a deal but now the toyota dealer calls and my flywheel is cracked, what i am wondering is do i pay toyota the 560 or whatever it was for a new one or find an aftermarket one for cheaper? this car when it breaks, seems to break ALOT

When I went to the local auto shop i got a resurfaced flywheel for like 35 + 30 core charge. so like 60-70 dollars in the end

BorHor is right, get a resurfaced flywheel, actually i have one in my closet for a turbo motor so i dont think it will work for you. i was going to use it in my truck. originally i bought the car as a donor for the truck but i fell in love with my supra even though its a piece of crap and a automatic.

I kinda think im screwed and should just give up and buy a new motor, the parts for this car in northern alberta are damn expencive anyways, and i think the cars gonan be dead for a while. ive been lookin for like half an hour no one in town has used or resurfaced flywheels for this car

Changing the flywheel shouldn't add more than 1/2 hour tops to the labor charge for changing the clutch. They're already there. Maybe that price is clutch, flywheel, labor and all?

I agree, the price is probably including the clutch labor which should be flat rate and not by the hour meaning whether they get it done in an hour or a day the labor is the same.
I put a fidanza in my car and Im happy with it but your car is allready at the dealers and they usually won't install aftermarket parts due to liability and warranty issues.

so ive done some talking to the dealer and my dad and such who all has used clutchmasters flywheels and clutches? otherwise im going fidanza/act combo anyone done this before? is it wise to use a used flywheel and a good aftermarket clutch i can get a used one for 70$ plus shipping, there prices where not with labour just parts
