Absolutely
 replace the main seal while you're in there, also the flywheel O ring 90
cents, the starter bushing 90 cents,throw outt bearing 17 bucks and pilot
bearing in the crank 6 bucks.
If you got the tranny out change the fluid 90 wt grease since this is an
only opportunity for a complete change. Flush it with kerosine and let it
drain overnight before adding the new grease. That magnetic stuff you
find on the drain plug is normal.
(Tranny fluid change in the van leaves 1.5 quart locked in ring/pinion
area of old lube).
It requires right at 1 gallon of fluid.
