For the clutch replace the throwout bearing as well.

Agreed, these items on this engine will typically last over 200k miles and longer, which will outlast the cylinders usually. So not something that needs ot be considered at just 34k miles. They are like new still. Billman TCT can be swapped in anytime in the engines future. Its not a requirement to do now, but couldn't hurt if you can get your hands on one.
