Mc & csc

[vtec to vvel]

So approx. 1 year and 4 months ago, I presumably experienced the notorious CSC issue: clutch fluid would go down and the clutch pedal operates normally, but feels soft after engine gets to operating temps.

During this time was when COVID was at its peak, so wife ended up quitting her job, thus putting me into a financial bind with 1 income to support 2-person bills. The Z basically sat in storage all this time and the repairing had to take a back seat.

Fast forward to now, I am doing better financially and ready to replace the MC and CSC. I have bought a battery tender since and do drive it around the block every other week to get the oil running and prevent flat spots on the tires.

Few questions:

1. Anyone in the Tampa, FL area that's willing to help out taking on this project? I can't find a reputable shop to do this and don't really trust the stealership.

2. If no one can assist, does anyone know/trust a shop in Tampa?

3. I've read mixed reviews about this. and I'll prob catch some heat on this question. The engine oil was last replaced in 09.2020 (yes, coming up on 2 years), but only has 75 miles on it from being in storage. It is 5W-30 full synthetic. I check the oil and is a light tan color still and I understand the viscosity does break down over time and no signs of sludge. How long can I go before I need to change? Not so much a financial issue, but rather time due to having to work a few jobs to makes ends meet (used to be quite active on this forum pre-COVID, and then became a ghost during/post-COVID lol).
