No, I do not. The previous owner said he installed a new "competition clutch" and "billet fly wheel" at around 10 or 15k miles because the stock clutch was "slipping." When I said clutch slippage at 15k seemed odd, he quipped, "I did not like the clutch, so I replaced it."

I don't know what fluid RPM Autoworx used when they replaced the master cylinder. Should I enquire with them. Should I consider having the fluid replaced or should I leave well enough alone?

That's a Nissan fault.

Yes, the fluid was full at that time.
