You can get a quality clutch and flywheel set for about $750 shipped from one of the vendors here. Take it to a reputable shop in the area and you'll make out for about $1200 in all.

$1900 for just a clutch and install is crazy, tell them to to cut that in half and maybe you'll consider it.

JWT clutch/flywheel combo.....or ACT

The ACT is a little more expensive, but from what I have heard from a reputable sponsor and a person I trust is that the ACT combo is better.

Just my .02

if you're going to replace your flywheel since there is no better time then having your tranny dropped and you're looking for a good flywheel you should consider a nismo one. They're about half the price as that dual weighted oem flywheel and weigh a bit less. Has a little bit of a rattle though from around 1k-2k rpms but not nearly as bad as some of the lower weight aftermarket flywheels.

I got an oem clutch though and don't remember a lot of the research I did on them back then. If you can bring yourself to trusting a shop outside of the dealership, cheaper labor on a 10 hour job always helps
