    I have almost 34,000 miles on my 2000 360 w F1. I am scheduling the major service (4 years and almost 10k miles since the last major), and I think the clutch may need replacing/servicing as its been replaced only once, before I purchased the car in 2004 when the car had only 10k miles. I would like to hear what other 360F1 owners recommend under these circumstances to be sure I don't make any mistakes. Note, I am taking it to my local factory authorized service center. My questions are:

    1- is there a rule of thumb on when clutch should be replaced in F1 cars, as the only noticeable issue I have is a slight hesitation i feel when I pull away in 1st gear?

    2- should I be offered a labor cost saving if both major service and clutch are done together, and if so how much less labor should I pay if they do both while car is apart?

    3- while car is in there and apart, what other preventive maintanence/engine related/mechanical servicing is recommended/should I consider doing? Thanks

    24000 miles is about average but a properly equipped shop (eg official dealer) will be able to tell you the clutch wear according to the electronic memory - why guess ?
