I have a 2002 Honda Civic with $105,000 miles. My mechanic gave me a list of repairs and I want to know if It is recommended to do them all right away and what is the priority. The list is:
1.replace rear brake shoes and resurface rear brake drums
2. Replace front struts (shock absorbers leaking)
3. Brake system fluid exchange (dirty and contaminated)
4. Replace clutch with kit, pilot bearing
5. Replace rear main seal with clutch removal
6. 4 wheel alignment after clutch replacement

If you are doing 4 and 5, 1 can be done at the same time.
