i just got pfs to do mine at 85.00 an hour labor cost, its around 450.00 total. you might as well get a lightened flywheel also while you have the tranny droped.
5 hours total labor: $425
mis. parts (bolts/screws): $3.25
shop supplies and waste disposal: $20.00
6% sales tax: 2.37
total: $466.87
read right from my invoice

Careful with those exedy clutches. I bought one for my last 300zx and holy **** did it blow ***. It was great for racing as it held like a son-of-a but the streetability was just AWFUL. If your project is a daily driver or you plan to drive in traffic alot then I suggest looking into something else.

and to the thread starter: no need to get a flywheel anyways. exedy kits come with flywheel built in

Yeah I'm pretty sure I know what I put in my cars.
What the hell are you talking about? How can a clutch have a flywheel "built in"? Do you know what a clutch and a flywheel are? Are you thinking of the pressure plate? If so, the pressure plate and flywheel are very, very different things.

Mazda book is 5-6 hours.
We charge around 400-450 labor.
Lots of BS floating around this thread about exedy.....they produce clutches from oem stock replacements all the way out to twin and triple discs. You can't make blanket statements about an entire company based on one specific product they offer.....

FWIW, there's more to a proper clutch job IMO than just R & R 'ing the clutch, even if you don't have to worry about resurfacing the FW. The pilot bearing and dust seal, throw-out bearing, clutch fork and rear transmission seal should be considered for replacement. Not to mention new transmission fluid. Does the good deal include those?

just changed my clutch yesterday,which IMO was a pain in the rear ONLY because I have never done it before.It is rather simple,but it does take a bit of time and patience.No corners should/could be cut.
(clutch replacement record set on rx7club......10 hours!!!)

Most of the light flywheels are around 9 lbs. The counterweight is about 3 pounds additional. That setup is not too light for the street, as long as you get a "streetable" clutch & pressure plate. If you are running less than 270 rwhp, even a stock clutch can easily be used, and will work nicely on the street with a light flywheel.

I was wondering the same because I am about to replace my clutch.... Maybe wrong post but I've heard mixed opinions on lightweight flywheels and the right one to get for street. Obviously one would think that an ACT flywheel labeled 'Street' vs. one that isn't might be more 'streetable' but if tons of people are running the 'pro-light' flywheels without issues of driveability or durability, why not go with the light one. Opinions?
