While the entire rear suspension/trans dropped, what should I replace that results in a negligible labor difference? Hardened output shaft, half shaft, trans brace?

Get a DTE brace. It's worth its weight in gold! A clutch slave is not a bad idea if you're having hydraulic issues either, and DEFINITELY buy a remote clutch bleeder. Half shafts can be installed without the entire rear end dropped.

Thanks... I have most of the clutch items covered, but was more interested in the random parts that would be easier to access.

can do the hardened driver output shaft. much easier to do while diff on the bench. if not changing gears go with DTE clutch packs or c6 z06 clutch packs in carrier
