In the middle of replacing auto trans. What else should i replace?

Well i'm in the middle of replacing my auto trans with another auto which has 76,000. I will be replacing the filter (or whatever you want to call it),pan gasket, and pan bolts since it was flushed and steam cleaned when i bought it. I will also be replacing the axles since mine have been ripped for a very long time.What else should i replace while i have the trans out? Maybe axle seals or rear main seal?

Since you're going to have the passenger side axle out, it's a good time to install headers.

make sure you check all the prongs on the tranny connector on the harness, and make sure none of them are bad or bent, because it will throw codes


i know it sounds stupid, but order a valve body kit while your at it.

when i replaced my auto, i bought a tranny cooler, its worth it plus its cheap

Anybody know part #'s for these seals. I will be using a filled mount. If i could do headers at this time i would be doing a 3.5 and may.The new trans comes with a 90 day warranty so i would need it. Also no vb at this time either. I also have a trans cooler i will install.
