Ok I was figuring around 200. $450 sounds rediculous though. What about a new flywheel...is it NEEDED??

You can just resurface yours, it will be fine. Unless you get some kind of wild clutch that requires it's own matched flywheel.

That depends on how much they take off the first time. You can only remove a certain amount before its no good.

I would spend the money on a nice billet steel flywheel. Something SFI approved.
