You should drop central coaster a line. He could probably give you some good advance on the flywheel.

I'm not entirely sure the FAQ is accurate and can be trusted about the ZF stuff.

should I take my car back to get the clutch/flywheel looked at or should I just get a new flywheel?

Just get it balanced, you should be fine.
Welcome to the club as far as incompetent mechanics. Look in the regional sections here on the forum, I bet youll get plenty of choices from guys that are hooked up with good shops if you dont do your own wrenching. Weve all been there, dont give up.

Are you stating that this guys would drop your rear, install new gears, and re-install the rear for $200 !
That is insane.

I just had gears installed , and it cost me $400. I pulled the center section and took it to the shop.
Once they installed the gears I supplied, I re-installed the rear back in my Vette.
