Default my plans

I have a little over 2 years on the 3 years or 36K miles, whichever comes first standard warranty. During that time I am buying an after market csc recommended by folks on this forum plus the stainless steel lines. At or near warranty expiration, I will have it replaced even if the stock one appears fine. When they go, they can go all at once. The only decisions I have left are based on recommendations by other members to go ahead and replace the master cylinder as well (is that necessary?) and many have recommended changing to a different clutch as well. Is that necessary? No, I don't race or drive the car hard. I'm an older guy loving his sports car.

I would recommend a new master cylinder when you replace the slave. If you are getting an aftermarket CSC, this may not be entirely necessary. I would go ahead and do it because the masters are prone to failure as well. My CSC had not yet failed when I replaced it with aftermarket at 50K miles, but at 70K miles I'm on my 4th master cylinder

No need to change the clutch unless you're unhappy with the stock one
