So i got a R150F tranny. Its sitting at my friends house, i will be using it for my manual swap. So far i have made a re-pin template. 97 auto harness to 97 manual ecu. In theory i should have no cel codes if repined correctly. I also have 97 m/t ecu and just incase i need a 97 manual engine harness ( which i will probably sell it ) Anyways i have some questions on what parts i need to refresh the tranny and few other parts.

*Are there front and rear tranny seals i can get, if so anyone know the part number for EOM ? the tranny and tcase are currently bolted together in one piece.

**I want to replace the drive shaft u-joints, all of them. Since i got the drive shafts of the door truck and some zerks are missing, why not just replace the u-joints while its out. Again, where can i get u-joints or does anyone know the part number ?

***Good/decent clutch kit

****does the pilot bearing come with clutch kit?

*****is this recommended to change and if so, which color? White?

******Anything else i can replace while its all out?

*******Of topic, I am considering to get the isuz2014 tcase/tranny skid plates , the 1/8 thickness. I already have his front skid plate the 3/16. I also have whinston metalworks roof rack, trail gear rock sliders. Would the extra armor on the tcase/tranny add any wear or damage to the engine. This is my daily driver! I don't wheel at all, but i like the feeling of having little armor and incase i ever decide to hit a trail. Does armor in general add any wear or stress to the engine ? Anyone that is a daily driver with armor ? I am also considering for future to get savage front bumper.

I can't help with the first two, as my M/T came with the truck and I haven't touched those seals. Maybe next clutch.

The Aisin CKT-040 (available on Amazon) is the OEM clutch, updated. That's what I just put in. Pilot and Throw-out included in the kit. The Marlin Crawler HD kit gets very good reviews but is more $$.

I highly recommend the Marlin shift seats, and yes, white for the trans and blue for the T/C.

I also decided to do the rear main seal and the starter contacts while I was in there. Both were due and are a relative breeze with the trans out of the truck and a major pain if it's in.

My '99 with 165K shifts beautifully after doing this.

And does armor add extra wear or stress to engine ? Dsilt driving ?
 
What about the armor part. Does it add stress or wear to the engine ? If I add 1/8 tcase and tranny skid plate ? And in future savage front bumper ? I already have 3/8 front skid plate, trail gear rock sliders, roof rack.

Just grab ujoints and seals from napa...


Why would a tranny skid add stress or wear to the engine? It weighs less than a passenger. You say you don't wheel so why do you need all the armor anyway? All I have is a front bumper and sliders. Sure, I need a tcase skid but otherwise I doubt you'll hit any actual trails where you need a big underbody skid plate to where you'll be taking some major hits. Just sounds like a waste of money that could be better spent on other things IMO.
