what to replace on the power train axle suspension steering and tranny 'overhaul'?
I'm posting this questions since I already ordered the wrong part once and found out I had to order more to avoid double shipping cost twice.

My plan is to install a bushing kit, it came cheap and removal of the tranny is necessary anyway for the clutch and the tranny itself needs some attention too.

My experience is after a wheel bearing and a cv joint that if I just repair one thing the next year something else gives (like a dust boot or a ball joint or cv joint) and replacing tranny fluid and a wheel alignment every year isn't necessary for me. So it's all about the front, I'll do the rear later on.

So I went on a shopping spree and got myself:

bushing kit
2 wheel bearings
2 cv joints
2 stabilizers
2 dust boots for the steering
2 ball joints
2 tie rod ends
repair kit dust b00t (for the innner boot on the axle)

for the tranny I got myself:

1 drain plug (since I wrecked mine trying to remove it)
1 strike rod seal
1 roll pin

Am I missing some part maybe? My goal is to make it like new (I'm not getting a new inner CV joint, I have a good used spare)

I know I need some other pins for the throw out bearing, my clutch kit has the bearing but no pins.

Anything else? My car will be on stands for a while and I ask your help to not miss anything important.

Check the inner tie rod ends on the steering rack.
As long as you have the axles out, you may as well replace the axle seals on the transmission. Be sure you use transmission oil rated for AGL-4 service. Red Line MT 90, if possible. Synthetic for sure in your climate.
With the tie rods off, swivel the struts to check the top bearings to see if they rotate smoothly.

2 axle seals then

I'll check the inner tie rods and the top bearings that came in the car lay somewhere in my shed, lol.

How about bearing retainers?

Oh I noticed the long axle also has a inner boot (duh)

Is it the same as the outer boots?

Ok,

So I've ordered this already:

2 cv joints and 2 wheelbearings (those where pritty bad I suppose)

drain plug 32103-01A01 (since I fubared mine)
repair kit dust boot 39741-64Y25 (short axle)

And by not overlooking I hope it will be suffice to order:

1 shift rod seal 32858-M8001
1 striking pin 34133-M8000
1 crankshaft seal 13510-40F00.
1 clutch housing seal 38342-31X00
2 spring holder 30506-M8002
1 repair kit dust boot 39241-53J25 (long axle)

I've ordered the lithium grease also.

Those repair kit dust boot set me back a little, but they complete the overhaul, together with the stabilizers, tie rod ends and ball joints and those dust boots for the steering also don't come easy, I believe I've completed this job. Or else I have to pay some more shipping.
