Clutch Replacement
I'd like to replace my clutch, or have the dealer replace it but don't want to get raped by the dealer's prices. Should I just buy it from the link below and have them install it or should I just have them order and install it? I've heard of dealers charging outrageous prices for clutch work...

Well what did the dealer quote you to do it? Unless you have an outstanding dealer(unlikely) The online parts places will be the best price for your parts. So then your stuck at whatever your dealer wants to charge per hour for the labor. Most dealers of any car make charge outrages labor rates. Hence why dealers are almost always more $ then a local shop.

regarding the clutch replacement, I spoke with someone at the acura dealership,
they recommend simply resurfacing the flywheel rather than buying a new flywheel. is that the way to go?
also, how reliable are the UR lightweight flywheels? shoudl one get that instead of resurfacing the old flywheel?

That dealer has a bunch of idiots. You can't resurface the CL flywheel because it's a dual mass setup. Well.......You could if the machine shop REALLY knew how to do it right, but very unlikely they would.
It's inspected at time of removal, if it's in ok shape, they should be able to reuse it. A new flywheel is not always needed.
