Default What else to replace when swapping transmission?

I just ordered a transmission , and I was wondering what else I should replace for "preventative maintenance" when I swap the transmission out. I know I'll be replacing my rear-main seal because it's started to leak, but what else?

Really, no suggestions? Not even the usual "do a search" reply?

What to what are you swapping?
A4 to m6? Or vice versa?
A4 to m6 youll need the flywheel, clutch, hydrolics, cut the hole in the trans tunnel, crossmember and the transmission!
m6 to a4 youll need the flexplate, pcm tuned for it, linkage, shifter, crossmember(not sure if they are interchangeable, and then the trans.
if anyone can spot something i missed please include it
