I never planned to open the case, it's only got 197k miles, the fluid was not bad and there was no grinding going gear-to-gear while I was towing it (Only about 1 mile w/clutch pedal depressed).
EDIT: I already replaced the shifter o-rings before I started painting.

The input shaft seal can be done without taking anything apart aside from it's housing (with the release bearing guide tube.) Just take the inside cover off to do that seal by itself and you should be ready to go.
