It's notable that the "clutch replacement kit" includes the clutch disk, throw-out bearing, and pressure plate, but not the pilot bearing, crank seal, and hydraulic tubing. These things are so easy to do at the time that it's wise to at least inspect them, and it's little to no extra work to do them at the time. So, I'd have to agree with Grunff's statement on this - yes, it would have been a really good time to do them, but if it wasn't done, I can understand not doing the hydraulic piping. Hopefully they would have inspected it & seen a potential problem, but maybe it looked just fine. On my '88 900T, when I did the clutch at around 220,000 miles, I looked at the hydraulic piping (metal/hose combination unit), it looked fine, and I left it in with no problems - but I only kept the car for another 30,000 miles or so. It's a judgement call. Dave Hinz
