I do too, but it wouldn't be the first, second, or even third time someone used an OEM CSC with an aftermarket clutch

It still feels like it has a lot of life left. Most of my driving is on the highway and I'm usually pretty easy on the clutch.

If everything is being done through warranty right now, at least you aren't double paying the labor costs when you do have to replace the clutch. I think I saw CSC replacement invoices for ~$700 (the part costs ~$100), so the potential savings is probably about $500-$600 in labor. If you get a good bit more life out of the stock clutch, you can better brace for that labor cost to pull the transmission once again. FWIW, most of the clutch kits I am looking at come with the heavy duty CSC included.
