Ok here's the skinny. I thought the starter was going out of my g/f's Contour cause it started making a squealing noise when you let off the key then it started grinding when ever you tried to start it. I changed out the starter and was checking the flywheel and the teeth are about 1/8 of an inch wide at this point. :shocked: I thought maybe I could get away with it but nope still grinding. The flywheel needs to go.
Anyways my question is has anyone here had to have their flywheel replaced? What did you pay to have it done. Even if you had your motor changed out that would be about the same price I'd imagine since it is basically the same thing. Any help would be appreciated. If it costs to much I'm just gonna junk the car and buy something else. Stinks cause it's a good running car and I've put a bunch of money into it already but I'm not putting a ton more into it. It just isn't worth it.
