How many miles? You could do a lot of stuff when you're under there. S/C, clutch line, trans mount(on hand in case it's worn), upper oil pan seal(don't forget the orings for the cooler and carry pipes), lower oil pan seal, E/S shifter bushings, etc.

128k miles......I already changed the lower pan,seal ?

But you brought a good point about the bushings of the shift cables...Are they necceserly bad at this age ?
cooler lines ?
also I think I need trans mount......
thanks nelledge

The shifter bushings are a very easy mod which adds some crispness to the gear selection on the 6spd. You should have seen the bushings I replaced at 120k. Squishy and torn. Might as well pay the $20 for the kit and do it at the same time.

Did I say lower pan? That one is cake and can be done anytime. I did the upper pan when I did my clutch. It's a PITA, but 9 times out of 10 when you have a leak attributed to the RMS it's actually the upper pan seals. I replaced my RMS, but on closer inspection it wasn't leaking at all. I'll chalk it up to prevention since I had access.

You're welcome. Also, don't take the list price from the dealer. Find one that will price match(sometimes talking with the manager works better for this if they know you will be making a decent purchase) or call Southpoint in Austin, TX. DaveB may not be taking sales phone calls anymore, but his guys will give you the .org discount.
