Default 60,000 mile service, clutch and what else should be done?

My 1999 996 cabriolet is going to have its 60,000 mile service. It also will need a new starter, at my cost, that has been making bad noises since before the warranty was up. But that is another story.
So, while I am having that done I thought I'd ask the list what else should be done while I'm going to the expense of pulling the engine etc...

why are you having the clutch replaced? is this just preventative maintenance or is it not engaging correctly?

Have you tried the 996 site? May be more help there.

Just and FYI:

I picked up my 99 with about 60K on it. Was making strange noise that I was convinced was my starter too. Turns out it was just the muffler starting to go! Didn't figure that out until the muffler got a little worse and made the noise even after it had just been started. The right one was the culprit, but the left one was right behind it.
