Average cost of a flywheel
Well i just had my clutch replaced last week and even though i was sure i needed my flywheel resurfaced because i ran my hand acrossed it and noticed it had a huge wave in it but my uncle (who was performing the repairs) swore up and down no i didnt and now i have high pedal engagement..as in my brand new exedy clutch doesnt grab until the pedal is almost fully released ,& i was searching and found that it can tear my clutch up in no time and cause slipping..but i dont really have the money for a lightweight flywheel $250+ ,so i thought i would call napa to get just a oem replacement and he told me it would be $1200.07!!!!even though a year ago i bought one from there for my mr2 for $80..so my question is ,is there any place i could get a replacement for cheaper than the above prices?Btw i dont think my flywheel is in good enough condition to be resurfaced...sorry for the elaborated story
Thanks

Adjusting was the first thing that came to mind because when i had my master and slave cylinder changed i had it adjusted because it was slipping a good amount (before the new clutch) ,but im
not to sure if thats the issue or if its because of the old flywheel

I paid $180 for an ACT Streetlite Flywheel (new) and had the counterweight from a parts car i bought with an automatic. Mine is a turbo, if yours is an NA your options are limited.
One thing to consider: Both the NA and the Turbo have a stepped flywheel, although the turbo only has a tiny step in it. If the flywheel is excessively worn, the pressureplate's clampload will be much less. It would cause the "high pedal." Also, if the flywheel was resurfaced incorrectly ( IE friction surface too low compared to pressure plate bolting surface), it would do the same thing.

if its your flywheel, this is only a temp solution, i have seen used lightweight flywheels go for 100 bucks or so, maybe even contact performance shops to see if they have one for sale from a customer or something. Sometimes that happens too. Good luck

I have a 86 na.& when i felt the flywheel it seemed like a pretty big step,the clutch grabs fine ,its just the high pedal that is bugging me.If i drive easy would my clutch be okay for about a month or do i need to replace the flywheel or get it resurfaced asap? I just dont want to ruin my new clutch.
Thanks for all the input guys
