Default Clutch replacement - any other parts I should order?

My clutch has started slipping when cold in 3rd and 4th gear so I am planning on replacing it soon.
Aside from the clutch unit itself (9911160019A), and the 8x bolts and spacers (90006707302, N 0122418), is there any other items you guys would suggest I proactively plan on replace while in there? Gearbox itself was rebuilt not long ago and aside from sporadic clutch slipping when cold, everything is operating well.

Consider replacing the slave assembly if the date on it is more than 3 years old. We have had several that start to leak around that age. If the slave is ok, check the release bearing on the plunger and make sure it spins smooth.

The clutch basket fingers are probably worn beyond spec if the clutch is old enough to be slipping so I would replace the entire clutch assembly with the basket/cover and all new plates.

My slave went recently (45 hrs) and while in there, I replaced the clutch as well. So i would def concur on purchasing a slave too especially if you dont know its history.

This is great advice. We have had folks that want to buy and just replace the clutch plates and not the intermediate plates or the basket.

Replacing the screws is good practice, but they are not stretch bolts like the flywheel has on it, so they are not one-time use screws.

Thanks
