what up guys, im getting my tranny swap on my coupe and the guy is charging me an extra 60 bucks because he says he has to send the flywheel to a machine shop, whats up with this? should i not give him the 60 extra bucks? in my auto shop we would just sand it down but not send it out. thanks

 

anyone?

 

$60 is a bit pricy to get a flywheel resurfaced

 

Yea all you do is take a DA to it and make it level, if his sending it to a machine shop it better be a couple pounds lighter.

Did they ask you to send it out before he did or did he without your concent? If he didnt tell you then you dont have to pay ****.

 

thats what im sayin. they should do it for free.

 

no he told me, i have to bring it to him for towing reasons but i dont think i should pay for it.

 

Did he say "im taking your flywheel to *insert name* machine shop to get your flywheel resurfaced and it will cost you 60 dollars, is that ok?" and did you say "Yes"

If so then you fucked up and you have to pay it. You should ahve said no.

 

I only paid 30 to get mine resurfaced/lightened at a machine shop 6 weeks ago......

 

oh no, he said i want to send your flywheel to a machine shop, he didnt say which one that is why i think hes a bullshiter. well now i will just tell him not to resurface it because i had recently just gotten a brand new clutch but i blew my tranny so.

if you want stuff done right then you have to pay for it. If you want it to be 1/2-assed and sanded you should just do the work yourself.

 

yeah thats true, i guess ill figure somethin out.i just tell i will do it if he charges 30 bucks for the resurfacing.

 

it should be around 60 because most machine shops won't do it for less then 1 hours worth of labor and that should be aroun 50 to 60 dollars

 

Ouch, you guys are getting it IDB

 

sorry i work at a machine shop so unless someone is doing it for a little extra cash it will be more then 30

 

No, that's teh price that I have always paid at this shop, I also have a friend that got his flywheel lightened at a different shop here & it was $35 there I think.

I used to work at a machine shop and it takes less than 10 minutes to resurface a flywheel. What charge $25. $30-40 is fair. $60 is messed up. You should have it done though.

 

Again, love being by the border. $15 to get it resurfaced. Same price for rotors.

 

sorry i'm here in nj where **** is hella expensive your right about the time but if i was doing it i would make sure to indicate it round before machining that would take you a little bit of time

 

$60 is a bit high, I would say the going price is around 35-50 tops...I paid 40 a few months back. Sand Paper isn't gonna work, you have to atleast use the DA grinder, but would have to make sure it is flat. I would have just send it to a machine shop as well.

 

You're gonna hate life when your half-assed effort bites you in the *** and your clutch starts to slip with less then 5k miles on it.....I know I am.

Get it resurfarced.
