You need to make sure the mechanic is very specific about what parts he is replacing and why. Is the car at a Honda dealership? If it was my car I think I'd be looking for a second opinion before I let that mechanic go any further.
I *am* looking for a second opinion, and he said the flywheel only *might* have to be replaced. The car's so far out of warranty that it doesn't pay to bring it to the dealer anyway.
