I also would recomend while the transmission is out. To clean up the
transmission and replace the front seal, rear seal and the O rings on
the overdrive cross shaft, install rear crankshaft seal kit, rear
transmission mounts.
Other options that i would recomend would be to rebuild the clutch
slave cylinder and install a new flex hose, and for a performance
upgrade option you can consider a light flywheel.
