check axles, if they have torn boots and u have money to replace, do so since they have to come off anyway. If you have a y-pipe that needs installing, free labor , get your bearing checked so it can be replaced just in case its almost dead or causing leakage, there are other bearings that the tranny connects to the axle with. I recommend replacing those, i hear if they are really worn it might cause leakage?

While the tranny fluid is out, throw some Redline MT-90 in there. Also if you can afford to buy a new flywheel, pick up a Fidanza. Check your seals as well to see if they are leaking or not.

Rear main seal.
I would replace it wether its leaking or not.
Just because its not leaking now, doesnt mean it wont leak 6 mo. from now.
Unless your doing the install yourself, better to pay the labor of removing the trans once not twice.
