With all this apart, I would swap the flywheel out, and in doing so going to a lightweight unit. I suppose if you're lucky and the original flywheel looks great, then just clean it up and take your chances, but I'm not sure I'd want to take the risk.

As to the RMS, I'm inclined to think it's better to replace it while you're looking at it- just make sure whoever installs the new seal does it correctly.

BMW, does the lightweight flywheel you have make more noise as all articles seem to suggest? If so is it acceptable? Can you tell us all how it changed the feel of your car?

Thanks
