I need to have my clutch replaced so I took it to AAMCO to get an estimate. They estimated it would cost $700. to replace it. I was wondering if this is right. To me it seems kinda high but then this is the first MTX I have owned. They also stated that when they replace the clutch they also remove the flywheel to polish it for a smooth contact with the new clutch. I was wondering if I have them replace teh clutch with the SVT flywheel what kind of performance will I get?
I have heard other members talk about it but not heard of the performance change. Any feed back would be appreciated. Thanks

$700 is about right for labor because they have to remove quite a bit to get to the clutch. The fly wheel should net you a few HP, quicker revs, and better throttle response. Go with an aftermarket lightned flywheel for even more benefit...

Forgot the name of the person who had a video of "what the flywheel will do for the SVT" Was sitting about about 50mph and ran it up too 120mph in no time. I know from past experiance is a little "harder" to start off with a lightened flywheel (maybe mine was just too light). I would try and do the whole shooting match if you can. Quaife, Flywheel, and Clutch. Tack on 700 for labor and your looking right around 2100 for all three (maybe a little more) but it would be really nice afterwards.
