I'm going to fix the trans leaks this winter but I need some advice!

Ok I have decided over winter break I will fix the trans leaks. The car is a 1987 300SDL. The front and rear main seals are doing a pretty good job of stoping my undercarage from rusting! The trans looks fairly simple to pull and I will have air tools and a trans jack. Is their anything I should know? Also the rear main seal will be so simple to replace while I'm back their but should I? It is dry now so should I even bother it? The new one could leak!

Here is a list of what needs to be replaced:

F/R trans seals
rear main (maybe)
Trans mount
shifter bushing

I also plan on pulling the driveshaft and getting it's balance tested.
I will replace the following driveshaft related items:
F/R flex discs
support bushing

The diff mount is looking pretty bad so I will swap that out while I'm under their.

I have a few questions what other seals on the outside of the trans should be changed? I will clean it up and I want it perfectly dry when it goes back in. I don't want any more leaks.

Will this give me access to any engine seals that I should do while I'm in their?

I can't wait to get this project done my driveline will be close to perfect. All of the mechanical/driveline issues will be taken care of! Yes I can see the light at the end of the tunnel! I am also getting 4 new Bilstein comfort shocks for Xmas (thanks mom and dad ) So come January I can enjoy a smooth leak free ride!
