My 83 f-100 needs a flexplate replacemnet which means dropping the
tranny.
What else should I plan to replace while its all tore down ? Seals ?
Gaskets ? Anything ?

Thanks
Bert

- Rear main seal
- Oil pan (if it's junk)
- Oil pump (if it's on its last legs)

I dont agree on the oil pump. If its a high mileage motor, a new oil
pump can cause more problems. Spun bearings, new oil leaks, etc..
