Did you order a clutch pilot bushing? Check your ring gear condition. Check
engine back plate for cracks. New bolts for mounting the tranny is a good
move. Sounds like you've got about everything else. Don't forget to
disconnect the clutch slave cylinder and the ground strap. You might even
want to replace the rubber plug on top of the tranny (ribcase, right??) and
the rubber boot on the clutch arm. New clutch bolts to the flywheel are
always a good idea. These aren't hardware store stuff.
Cheers!!
