The engine rear main seal was about a tenth of an inch thicker than the original seal so I pushed it in flush on both sides, instead of offest as per the manual. The seal carrier gasket is apparently not available so I used Loctite 518, my new favorite sealant for certain leak-proof seals. The clutch was as thick as a new one and simply rusted solid to the pressure plate. It popped off with a slight pry. I cleaned the FW and PP with fine emory cloth to a shiny finish which only took a few minutes. Acess to the transmission fill plug seems difficult. I ended up using a hose from the fill plug to a funnel under the hood. It was slow to fill but much better that a face full of gearlube while trying to install the gearbox.
I add these notes in the hope that someone will find them useful in the future.
Have a nice day
