Are we talking flywheel (manual trans) OR flex plate (auto trans) here? It can't be both!!! If it's your ring gear (what the starter engages to turn the engine) that is damaged, it doesen't require a whole new flywheel/flexplate (whichever applies here) to fix the problem, just the gear. FWIW I would consider taking Alice to another "doctor" for a second (or even third) opinion.
: Called around about getting the Fly wheek done... One guy said it would be $160 to replace the flywheel and an additional 170$ to replace the flexplate... my question is... was he planning to remove the tranny twice?
