I took that line as you have to be an honest person to change at 12K intervals.

What interval do you use if you're not?

When you change the master cylinder that was damaged from not doing the "honest" fluid change.

You can replace the seals. Its not a hard job at all. a set of snap ring pliers and a 90 degree pick should be all you need. The install should only take about 1-1.5 hours. unless you stop for lunch in the middle. have a friend help you with the bleeding.

Using Dot 3 or 4 fluid is fine, as the clutch system will never see near the heat of the brake system. Bleeding the clutch fluid once a year is also a good idea to keep the seals happy.

Can a leaky master cause difficult shifts? On mine it SEEMS clutch is fully disengaged based on the fact it nominally disengages not too far from the top. But could the clutch still be dragging?

Just get down there & check if it's leaking. I was having a hard time pulling my cluth out of gear, and I thought it was my spline with no grease or just my clutch going bad. I never thought it would be my master clutch cylinder. I got down there the other day, and sure enough it was leaking.
