If I were in your shoes, as well as checking the Gears bearings etc, I would install the transmission shaft seal kit at the rear and the Mitchell real deal oil seal at the front. This keeps the shafts and shifter from leaking front and rear. I imagine most dealers have both, I know Berts does. If you have to take the transmission apart, install shafts that have O rings, not that expensive.
