3) While replacing the transaxle what else should be
done?  Here is my list.  Clutch, rear seal, throw-out
bearing.  Anything else?  CV joints need to be replace
and this seems like a good time.

Your clutch kit will come with a pilot bearing.
You should replace the starter bushing in your bell housing ($1.00)
Your tranny symptoms sound like the famous 3/4 slider has a fracture or
the synchronizer ring has broken.
In either case it's repairable.
You might not need a complete rebuild .............. shop around.
