flywheel or no, replace the RMS everytime you have the tranny off. $20 insurance policy. if you haven't done it yet, replace the IMS bolts and rear case bolts with the microencapsulated versions.
BTW, there are some people who think that if you're lucky enough to have one that doesn't leak, don't replace it or you risk a leak with the new seal. this is garbage; the leaky cars leak because of out-of round issues on the case.
