Finding a broken selector shaft is actually great. No guessing as to what was wrong when you find an obviously broken part. Hope parts are cheap and you can get back on the road quickly.
As for the clutch, i'm with you on this one, don't fix what ain't broken as going back in is so easy. Years ago I had a GSXR1000 motorcycle and the clutch was a little weak and would slip at times. I took out the clutch discs (11 of them if I remember correctly) and the ones closest to the flywheel showed the most wear so I swapped positions and put the better looking ones near the flywheel and put it back together. Rode it like that for 2 more years with no slip and sold the bike. It was just too easy because if you had a 2x4 under the kick stand the bike didn't even lose a drop of oil while changing it out so no loss but a half hour of my time if it didn't work.
