I just had my engine dropped to replace the wiring harness and was told that my flywheel is wearing out as they found metal particles within the housing. Is this typical for 85k miles? When is a typical flywheel replaced? Any information is appreciated.

It's a dual mass flywheel so in addition to the surface condition, the internal springs and components are subject to wear. If in doubt, replace. If it lets go it could take out your transmission case.

Good call. I had a spring fail on my flywheel at 94k miles. Just bought the car at 92k. Literally the clutch would release up to the engagement point then it wouldn’t engage the clutch at all unless I slipped the hell out of it. Now I have new clutch and flywheel and it’s like a whole new car. Regular rule of them from what I read is you should change your flywheel every second clutch change for future reference.
