If you dont then it wont kill your car, but like the others said, if your in there might as well get everything that could go wrong taken care of. Because of a noise bearing I'll be reaplacing my clutch, flywheel, main bearing and all the other goodies while I'm there.

Inspect the flywheel mating surface...
Do you see grooves in it?
If you do, it should be "recut".
If it's relatively flat and smooth, get some sandpaper (about 220-grit is good) and run small round circles all the way around.
What you want to do is "break" the glaze that can hinder proper break-in.
Also, look for signs of overheating - these are dark or blue areas.
Small dark spots like 1" or less in diameter you can ignore.
