Question Replace or not to Replace - Master/Slave Cylinder

So Im going to be replacing the transmission due to it grinding gears and having a horrible vibration on declaration. Question is should I replace the master and slave cylinders while I'm at it or think they should be ok? Or should I replace just the slave/vice versa. As Ive never had to replace a manual tranny before, not sure if these would be an issue or not. Just would hate to see my rebuilt tranny get messed up due to not spending the extra $30-$130 replacing the parts.

if you plan on holding on to the jeep for a long time I would replace it isnt that much more money.. it is priceless to have less worry... I would also do the tranny mount while it is out

Im sure your replacing clutch,pressure plate,pilot bearing and possible flywheel right....... Roosters right it would be a shame to have all new parts and be let down by a weak hydraulic system

I got a clutch kit from autozone n replaced all that about 3-4 months ago so wouldn't need to do any of that. But ya just thinking for $150 bucks for it all would be worth not having to worry about it. Just wanted to hear it from some others before I did it.
