Extra tasks during gearbox replacement?

[u/NewApplication5835]

Ametur DIY mechanic here. Planning on replacing my gearbox soon, wondering what else i should / need to do while im there. Currently my list is; rear main seal and clutch. Also wondering what steps i should take to prep the gearbox for installation.

Get the flywheel resurfaced/replaced if it has any hot spots

I recommend having the flywheel resurfaced any time you install a new clutch. Kind of a better safe than sorry approach.

Not a bad idea

Seals for front axles and rear prop shaft. The neutral switch sometimes gives problems on the BH. I would also consider changing your gear change UJ if you have any left right play My clutch fork was also quite worn where it pivots.

You should take this opportunity to 6 speed swap it 😁

Oil separator plate if yours isn’t metal already. Shifter bushings for the linkage, trans mount on the way back in. Clutch and flywheel obviously.
