I just did this work on my 2000 2.7L. I mainly wanted to replace the IMS bearing with the LN bearing and figured at 83k miles it'd be a good idea to change the clutch and flywheel. The flywheel didn't pass the official test but the clutch wasn't overly worn out. What I did notice is that like the earlier poster said it had become "grabby" and difficult to shift smoothly. New clutch and flywheel feel great and engage over a longer travel. Very nice. I feel I could have continued with the old clutch for a while anyway if I had to and I can't imaging it would have been worn out at 50K when it looks like I replaced it at the proper time at 83K. I did all the work myself in my garage and it wasn't nearly as hard as I thought it would be.
