It absolutely can, and I didn't say it couldn't, did I?

Every time I ever came across a flywheel in need of resurfacing, it caused problems ALL the time, not just when COLD, which is exactly what I said: I couldn't see the flywheel causing this OP's specific symptom.

That said, you are correct that there is no way to know if the flywheel needs attention until you're in there, and that's the time to make that call. Still, guessing about it beforehand, I can't theorize any way it could underlie the cause of this OP's specific symptom.
