Hi, Welcome. Please ask Ricky Bobby to add you to Manual registry:

Also, please be advised that if your dealer does clutch as per "part of the deal" and does it just to put a check mark "Yes we did it" it may not do you much good. There is a lot to consider besides standard clutch kit (Clutch Disc/Basket/pressure bearing)

The dual mass flywheel also goes bad, it really does, just as they say/show. I replaced mine when bought my X at 123K miles. and when that being done, replacement of rear crankshaft seal is highly recommended because it is right there, you looking at it when flywheel is out - just 5/6 bolts because if it leaks later/soon or worn/faulty flywheel becomes an issue... Hmmmm - that clutch disc is one time install, unless you have specific tool to unlock/un-spring it plus locking plate that being removed upon installation and dealer most likely will discard it rather than give it to you. Also there are few more things between engine and gearbox that make sense to replace and they not considered to be part of the "clutch", all rubber bushings, pins, washers within shifter are most likely in so-so shape given the age of the car and replacing them is so easy with gearbox out. Odds are that whatever they do, you'd have to open it back up soon enough to make improvements.
