Replacing Transmission, but what else???
Hello All,
Thank you for all the help you have given regarding my earlier transmission post! Long story short...the front pump seal is definitely leaking. Considering the age of the transmission (210,000kmi) and considering the cost of just replacing the seal, I am opting for a rebuilt transmission from Sun Valley. I have a good friend who knows his way around cars that will help me remove the transmission and install the rebuilt one. I have been doing research on what else I should replace, and I was wondering if you friendly folks could chime in on what else I should replace while the transmission is out. This car runs great and I want to do my best to make sure she will last!

List of what I KNOW I need...
-Transmission mounts
-Flex Discs (2)
-Rear Main Seal
-What else...?
Thanks for all the help!

I am gonna cut and paste from your other O my gosh post------"Well if you are going that far, then go forward to the crank rear main and pan gasket."
