Parts:
1) Rear main oil seal
2) Clutch (82K miles on the existing one which works fine)
3) Pressure plate?
4) Throw out bearing?? (works fine)
5) Starter??? (works fine)
6) What else?
Things to do:
1) Resurface flywheel? What is the two step resurface I've read about?
2) Check transmission input shaft for roller vs. ball bearings
3) Cigarette seals, any chance these are the leak problem?
4) What else?

if you have the manual it is somewhat of a help with the clutch and so forth.
Buy the kit complete, only way I recommend doing it and I only offer it as a kit. Also use a good synthetic grease on clutch fork and shaft.
Starter top bolt is the pain. I use a 13mm long socket with extension to get to it. I also cram some paper towel in the socket to stick on the bolt. Up there way behind. I was thinking of welding a 13mm socket on the bolt for easy access.LOL
Also check intermediate/outer shaft seals and o-rings, CV boots. Change the ATF fluid as well.
While transmission is out, check shift linkage bushings, replace if needed.
Check Clutch Hose, replace if needed.
If pan coming off check for premature wear on journal bearings.
Just some things I would do while in there because once back together if you find somethign wrong your going to be pulling your hair out.
Let us know if you have other questions.
