It took a few attempts but I think I've figured out what your question is.
It depends on whether you asked the garage to change the 'clutch' or the 'clutch and flywheel'. If you wanted them to change the flywheel, you should've told them so.
Yes, since the advent of dual mass flywheels it's common practice to change a flywheel with the clutch, but i still wouldn't assume it'd get changed with the clutch kit.

Can any one help?
I've got a Ford Focus ST2 and I'm having a few problems with gear change. The clutch has been changed by the garage (which I won't name). They changed the clutch and the slave cylinder- should they have replaced the flywheel? They say they shouldn't have and that if I want the flywheel replaced I'll have to pay the full labour cost again.

They should have at least checked for excessive play in the D/Mass flywheel whilst changing the clutch.
A lot of the cost of the job is labour taking everything apart.
It may be that they checked it and it was within limits but if it`s shot and I had to pay again to have it all taken apart I would be a bit pissed off.
It`s not always required to replace the DMF with the clutch but it should always be checked for excessive play as part of the clutch change.

There's not enough info for anybody to make any suggestions.
The car was making a noise and you took it to a garage to get the cause of the noise diagnosed and fixed. The garage put a new 3-piece clutch kit on, but the car is still making a noise on gear changes?
Is it the same noise it was making before?
Did the original noise go away?
Crunching on gear changes usually indicates that the clutch is not fully disengaging, and this could be caused by a hydraulic issue, damaged clutch parts, incorrect clutch parts etc. I don't think a worn flywheel would cause that symptom.

Crunches in 1-3 mainly it's strange really the best thing is just brought back from garage now the steering wheel is moving from side to side when driving in a straight line and they say I've got a new set if wheel nuts and key cos mine were rotten yet not charged me hmmm how strange is that can see me falling out with them in the morning
Il put money on the mech using a snap on impact wrench on your original locking but and snapped it hence why you have new ones . First two gear changes are the widest ratio wise so harder on the synchros so may be a box issue if the clutch is working properly . How does the pedal feel ? Any sponginess or biting low down?
