It's a rule of thumb to change everything you can like that when it comes to a trans, cause the work to take it out sucks.

If you had no problem with the TOB in the time you had it, it should be fine. Same with axle seals.
I reused mine but had a new TOB cause my LSJ one was just done.

Yup everything was fine. Put my car back up on jackstands, and found out its not tranny oil, its my clutch fluid, coming from the top of that T on the top of the tranny. Any of you guys know what that is or called.

Still trying to get mine to start. Just put in a new starter and battery and when i turn the key all you hear is the starter whine and its not turning the fly wheel and the motor is not turning over. I'm about to push this car over a cliff.

Well is your car a 5 speed manual ? I use to have this car that turning the ignition didnt do anything, so everywhere i went, i tryed finding parking with a downhill slope , then drop the clutch, and your golden lol.
