You almost certainly don't need a new flywheel. You'd have plenty of vibration and juddering if you did. The post clutch judder is usually caused by the bottom engine/gearbox mount having been disturbed, they're quite fragile.

Bleed the clutch and report back before needlessly throwing a lot of money at what could be a cheap fix. I'd change the master cylinder as a matter of course if it's still on the original at that mileage. The seals disintegrate and wreck the slave cylinder if left in place. You'll see black particles in the fluid when bleeding the clutch if the master cylinder seals have gone south.
