You've got the basics covered - the other thing I'd recommend (which I
forgot to do) is replacing the seal behind the flywheel.  If your car is
a '91 B or L you might want to consider replacing the input shaft bearing
which is prone to failure (uprated part was installed starting in '92 and
is the replacement part for all).  This does involve opening up the box,
but you're half-way there.

Nothing that I know of.
