The clutch recently went on my RX8, I got in my car to leave work the other day and could not get into reverse. Getting the car into first is difficult and gear changes from there on are clunky, difficult and there is a whine while I'm driving which going through the forum seems to be the Throwout bearing.
Took it to a local garage and called around, it seems most shops around are charging $2000-$2200 for parts and labor. That would be a new clutch kit, flywheel resurface (or replacement), and a slave cylinder. That seems crazy expensive so I'm trying to do whatever I can to bring the cost down.
I see Mazmart has an Exedy OEM Replacement Kit for $350 which includes the release bearing. Is this the go to kit or is there something else I should go for?
Any flywheel recommendations? I can't seem to find one on Mazmart, I see BHR have a couple for 250-350 depending on which one you get. Whats an OEM flywheel cost?
Any other parts you guys would recommend getting?
My plan is to bring all the parts to a garage and just have them throw them in. How is the DIY clutch replacement? Me and my buddy are pretty mechanically savvy but don't have access to a lift. This is my main mode of transportation (The S1000RR doesn't work too well in these NJ Winters) so I can't spend multiple weekends putting this clutch in.
I appreciate all the help and recommendations.
