Fly Wheel: $145, gm $350+
I stopped pricing out then, i dont mind paying a bit more but 4x as much is absolutely absurd

GM-Canada has to buy any parts from GM-USA;
the dealer putting in the request has to get them from GM-Canada, who bought from GM-USA;
This all means that some sorry sap (like myself) goes to a GM dealers parts department, we have to:
Pay markup from the dealer, who was charged markup from GM-Canada, who was charged markup from GM-USA.
make sense?
this is why it's cheaper to buy aftermarket or directly from a stateside dealer (like CED or GMpartsdirect)...
a throwout bearing should be available via the aftermarket - and your flywheel should be machinable - unless I'm missing something.
this is how it was (off the record) explained to me quite some time ago;

flywheel- for cost of machining and also chance of hairline fractures or permanent heat damage im not going to put a 800 dollar clutch on a used flywheel.
