Flywheels, OEM or aftermarket

[tree98]

Assuming you're original flywheel is not resurfaceable and can be reused. I would look at the price difference as $1,030.00 insurance policy that you don't have to take it all back apart again. Remember every time you drop and reinstall a trans you're putting that rear structure seal at risk. Not to mention a possible tow bill that could far exceed your cost savings if it turns out the teeth on that aftermarket one are made out of butter ;)
