I decided to replace it rather than take a chance and have to disassemble everything in another ten thousand miles to replace it. Like I said in an earlier post, if I was short on cash I wouldn't have replaced the IMS bearing and maybe not the flywheel. The car drives much better now with the new clutch and flywheel.

just to make it clear for future reference.
the flywheel does not jumps back to its original position by itself.
the test means that you need to be able to twist it one side about 15 mm with some resistance, return it back to the same spot, and twist it again to the other side.
