If you DIY, a simple trick to help in removal and installation. put a jack on the front crank pulley and when you are ready to drop the trans slightly jack up the front of the engine. It'll give you more angle to slide out and re-install the transmission.

I can't remember which place on the web I got quotes from. Just do a google on discount toyota parts and you'll pull up several. Also get a quote from a couple of local dealers. My dealer always takes good care of me. Good relationships with sales and service are worth a few bucks.

I just noticed you're running 33's. The extra weight of the TRD flywheel stores energy from the engine and allows you to use it when taking off from a stop. It helped mine be a little more streetable with 31's. Of course, it robs a little energy when accelerating...but I'm sure you'll never notice the difference on the highway.

Ok, my clutch is almost completely gone. It squeals when i push in the clutch pedal and now its harder than hell to put it in gear. I went up to my local toyota dealership and they said like $285 with everything I need and to have my flywheel resurfaced. Then I asked how much for parts and labor and they said $995!!! So I'm most likely going take a whack at it myself first and see where that leads me. Im trying to get some more estimates just from regular repair shops but price hasnt been too much different yet.
