I ended up going LWF so that's good to hear. I've had the parts in front of me now for almost a week now but once the engine+trans were removed I discovered my car is a total basket case...
I thought the silicone smeared on the outside was trying to fix a leak without cracking the transmission open. Turns out the accident the car was in that caused the body swap cracked/broke the trans case in a few spots...
1.) sheared transmission mount ear
2.) deep crack in planetary gear housing for front output shaft
3.) all repairs/welds porous and smeared with silicone
4.) found ball bearings + a shredded bearing race INSIDE the transmission; had to fish them out with magnets after carefully inspecting all the parts I had removed so far
Turns out nothing I had removed so far was missing bearings or a race so they've been in the trans THE WHOLE TIME!
Went from clutch swap to WTF in a matter of like 5 days.
