Default Should rear main seal be replaced...

When swapping out an orignal clutch at 110k miles, one should change the rear main seal as a matter of course--even if the original one is not leaking...correct? The Aamco that is doing my clutch was acting like they wouldn't recommend changing it if it's not leaking. What do you cats think?

That's what I was thinking. I'm just surprised that the shop even presented leaving the old seal as an option. They also said that they wouldn't charge me to install a new one. Why wouldn't I install a new one?
