I have an '88 4x4 2.3 with 102,xxx (or perhaps 202,xxx :rolleyes:) with a broken tooth on the flywheel ring gear. So older truck I figured it's be worth it to swap out the whole flywheel and clutch assembly. So that being said, what else should I do while it's apart? Slave cylinder probably? Slave + Master? anything else I'm forgetting? Since it broke it's been parked for nearly a year. But thanks for any tips.
 
Wow! Hens teeth right there on a post - 4X4 with a 2.3. Not many of them running around any more.
Doing all the work, it makes sense to replace the parts that wear or can leak. I might skip the rear main seal if it is totally dry when you get there. I would skip it if bone dry.
Check also the input shaft bearing on the transmission for wobblies, roughness and inspect the pilot bearing area. Depending on the transmission fitted, there may be some rubber 'plugs' on the top that turn to dirt after a while and allow the lube to escape and coat the underside of the floorpan. Suggestion if you have them is to replace with freeze plugs that fit. If the shift linkage is sloppy, now would be the time to take it apart and find the worn parts that can be replaced to tighten it up. Finally, take a look at the transfer case output seals. Don't want it to run dry due to seeping.
