The reputable shop I am working with wants to replace the flywheel also which adds $1,100 to the cost. Isn’t.there an inspection that can be done on the flywheel for reuse?
The dual mass flywheel is tested with a rotation test to see if the two sections rotate away from each other and then correctly return. It is a "go/no go" type test, it either passes or it doesn't. If the flywheel shows signs of being "burned" due to heat from clutch slippage, it also has to be replaced as dual mass flywheels cannot be resurfaced.

Makes sense that they would recommend putting a new one in while in there. And honestly, from what I'm seeing $1100 is peanuts when it comes to car repairs these days.
