The symptoms were a lumpy, pulsing idle that was somewhat intermittent. Always there a bit, but sometimes much worse. I also have a nasty vibration when the engine is around 1500rpm-2000rpm.
The fix was to put in a new flywheel. The mechanic sat in the car and immediately said "Yup, your flywheel is junk". This was no surprise to me, as it's a common issue for my car. He'd just done one a couple days before, and seemed quite confident that was it.
If it's something stupid like a bloody motor mount I just see this turning into a big mess. I wouldn't think you'd do a whole flywheel/clutch job for $2500 unless you were sure.

I'm no mechanic but that doesnt sound right to me. There are a million things that could cause a 'lumpy/pulsing' idle, most of them are fuel/air/ignition/sensor related.
Flywheel? I'm guessing this is a manual vehicle, but still.
