1.) 57k - Slave Cylinder needs to be replaced.
2.) 59k - Steering Lock strikes
3.) 73k - Clutch needs to be replace and Transmission as well
4.) 88k - Engine Needs replacement
I make sure all the liquids are good. I use Mobil 5w-30 for my engine.
Honestly, I am at a lost for words. Any Advice?

Some of us right away questioned the reasons for tranny and engine replacements. My first thought was whether these problems stemmed from bad luck or owner's doing.
In some of your earliest post, you've mentioned that Z was your first car (or first sports car), you learned driving manual in it, that you adopted the "just think nothing but to drive and shift fast" driving style...among other lessons.
Not trying to embarrass you. To give any advice, it's important to know the root cause. If it was a lemon car, we would say get rid of it. Knowing your history, I would say if your driving and understanding of your car has improved, and still love your Z, find a reputable shop to fix it and enjoy it for many years to come.
