What seals to replace while doing clutch?

So, I need to replace my clutch and wanted to make sure I replace every seal while I have everything out. I just want to make sure I have them all before I start rather than finding out somethings missing in the middle of the job.

2003 v6 push button 4x4, 5 speed

- Engine
rear main seal

- Transmission
Front bearing retainer oil seal

- Extension housing
Oil seal

- Transfer case
top shift rod gasket
front bearing retainer oil seal
2 small oil seals (plugs) above front bearing retainer
Speedometer gear o ring
Front companion flange oil seal X2
Rear companion flange oil seal X2

-Exhaust
O2 sensor gasket
Front exhaust pipe gasket X3

And, clutch master and slave cylinders. Not because they're difficult to replace without removing the trans, but because they will likely fail before the next time I replace my clutch. Much like how I like to replace wheel cylinders any time I do a rear brake job.

Did I miss anything? Anything else that would be smart to replace at the same time?

Lol, that's the wrong attitude when it comes to things like this or timing belt replacement. If you don't do the cam and crank seals, they're gonna leak before you need to replace your timing belt again, and you'll have to remove all that ˟˟˟˟ again just to do those seals.

You definitely DO fix it before it breaks, because once it breaks at best it just means tearing all that ˟˟˟˟ off all over again and wasting a weekend. Or in the case of the rear main seal, if it leaks it can ruin your clutch, or if your trans/transfer case run dry they're ruined.

I just ended up going to the dealership and had the guys that look at parts diagrams all day for a living make sure I had them all.

I decided not to worry about the exhaust gaskets, or master and slave cylinders. If they go bad i don't have to worry about taking all that ˟˟˟˟ off to fix them.
