It is possible you need a new flywheel, but those prices are ridiculous! Our clutch/flywheel combo (lightweight flywheel) is only $659 with a SS clutch line, throw out bearing and pilot bushing. LINK

Goodluck!

If the clutch is worn out but hasn't been abused, you can probably get away with using the original flywheel. Abuse would be letting the clutch slip for extended periods (which heats up the flywheel excessively) and letting the clutch disc wear down to where you have metal-to-metal contact and scoring of the flywheel. Both of these conditions will be obvious when you take the clutch apart, but knowing how you've treated the car will give you a clue on what to expect.
