Replace while Tranny out

Wondering what I should get replaced while tranny is out...
This is 2017 F54 JCW Manual..

I lost 6th gear while cruising on the highway, and it looks like my tranny is toast :(. Dunno how that happened.

Here is a list I have so far as what to replace:
1) clutch disk + pressure plate + throwout bearing - $300-$700
2) slave cylinder - $100-$250
3) rear main seal - $30-$80
4) transmission input shaft seal - $20-$50
5) transmission mount

Any thoughts or anything else to add?

No need to replace the slave cylinder unless something is wrong with it.

While the trans is out, how
about cracking the case to
put in a Quaife or Wavetrac.

I read that there isn't much of a benefit for an AWD. Is that incorrect?

Honestly..I'm not well versed on adding an LSD.

This is how we do it.....

Not a 3rd gen owner, but I like my ClutchMasters aluminium flywheel and FX350 clutch on my R53. Maybe they make one for your car, too....
