Cool Flywheel Pricing - WTF

So i was looking at the flywheel prices for both the LSJ and LNF and there through the damn roof.

CED, Ebay, you name it they all have them at $458/$606 respectively.


Anyone know whats going on ?

When josh was doing my clutch the plan was to put a new oem flyweel in but when he went to order it tom said the price was raised. Didnt say anything about it being temporary so im goin to assume this is how its gonna be from now on.

IDK why prices are going up, Josh warned me though and I bought one to go in my car.

If ZZP is selling them low still, buy one now. When they go to re-up they will be doing it at the new cost and will pass that on...

CED was at like $150 + shipping.

i would assume its because GM is out of them and/or almost out of them and not planning to make any more or mass produce anymore since the car is so old.

Buy a new one i you can.
Lots of room for error. I have diagnosed 2 2.0's that failed the TOB due to improperly redone flywheels in the last month.

Im sure it did but if they had it in stock when u placed ur order it would have shipped by now. They must have forgotten to mark it out of stock and now they are waiting on their supplier.
