Flywheel Resurfacing

Who does flywheel resurfacing in San Diego? I'm going to be installing a new clutch this weekend and would probably need to get this done. Also what is the normal cost? Thanks

AAMCO charged me $64 to resurface the flywheel in my FC. I'd call around to some of the smaller auto shops and see what they charge. I'd also check with Seth at Pure Sports in Ramona (760-787-5759), he's a great guy and their shop specializes in RX-7s. (A lot of other places will probably do more damage to your rex than good.)

BTW, don't go to AAMCO unless you want to pay an assload of money.

try the napa off the 52, i think its the convoy exit.

$60 is ridiculous!

I took a honda flywheel there, if i remember correctly it was like $25.

just do I yourself so you don't have to spent a lot of money. I used a soft peace of sandpaper on mine.

Rotfl.

Bad advice.

Take it somewhere that can properly resurface it.
