Default few questions

is the KLZE worth the money? it has around 40 more BHP than the probe GT motor. also what tranny's will the KLZE bolt onto?
also can the internals in the KLZE handle decent boost stock ?

It is about 40 more hp and will bolt up to any transmission paired with a 2.5. a KLZE is a 2.5, like the probe's V6, but with some different internals.
It being worth the money is up to you, your car, budget, and future plans.
I understand they can handle a fair amount of boost. A few have reportedly exceeded 350 hp, though not many have been built that i know of.
I wouldn't suggest pairing a boosted KLZE with an automatic transmission.

Slave Cylinder isn't difficult, or expensive. I just had to replace it on my mx3, lol
I know what you mean about automatics. I prefer cars to be manual, though on a 4wd, auto can be pretty nice.
I can't remember if the climate control on my 93 mx6 was push-button or lever operated... If it's push-button, unit could be bad; if lever-operated, something may be wrong in there.

I've never had to troubleshoot the climate control, so i've no ideas for you there. If it's the unit itself, i have one I could sell from my 93...

Hey there... Were you able to fix it? If so, what was wrong with it?
