I follow the saying "If it ain't broke, don't fix it"

For example, I know my starter is going bad. Its been making the start up noise for 2 years now. But it still has life left in it.

But theres the corollary "once your in really deep, fix everything that might go wrong." In other words, if the clutch disc is worn, I'm not going to replace just the disc, I'l replace the pressure plate, throw-out bearing, RMS, IMSB if it hasn't been done. Don't want to repaet that job in a couple of months because you skimped on something.
