Default Stealer miracle!

After much campaigning by tallking to the service managaer, Honda UK and honda area manager, not to mention letters to all three stating the situation. The stealer has agreed to replace my clutch (or part of to be more precise) on a 75k mile S2000 outside extended warranty by over 12 months!!!! Amazing, and I'm veryt pleased.

However, they've agreed to replace one of the three main parts, it's not the thrust bearing or the friction plate it's the other one (I know I sound like a complete twat but I cant remember the name for the other main part!) and I was wondering if it was worth paying them the extra

Bearing in mind that replacing the other parts at a later date will cost you all the labour it really makes sense to replace the whole lot now.
After all, it's all done the same mileage.
Hasn't the dealer offered this?

edit - an extra

I shall have a look tomorrow when I get time but I thought the clutch came as a kit with the bearing additional. Seems expensive for just the plate though. The bearing I am not surprised about though.

Clutch assembly comprises of a clutch cover (main bit), friction plate, release bearing. Also the flywheel but this is often done on condition.
