I suspected a worn clutch and took it into my local Toyota dealer to be looked at (41,490 miles). They're diagnoses were that my clutch was extremely worn, my throwout bearing was worn out and my flywheel was damaged. The dealer service department stated that all of the items plus labor would come to a total of $2400 for a new clutch assembly and new flywheel, with only the bearing being covered under the 7 year/100,000 drivetrain warranty or the 1 year/15,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty.



Is 2400 too much for a flywheel and clutch replacement? What should be the reasonable cost?



Given that I purchased the car a week ago as a CPO and drove it less than 1000 miles, the clutch should not have been as worn as it was, and the CPO inspection should have covered the damaged flywheel.



If my repairs are reasonably not covered by the warranty, is the quoted $2400 too high for the repair? Should I take it to an independent shop? Escalate it to Toyota Corporate?
That is waaay too expensive!!

I bought my Exedy Clutch kit and Flywheel online, then got it installed at The Racersline for a fraction of that price.

That dealership is trying to rip you off...
