Winter maintenance suggestions

94 R2, 58k. Reman at 44k, going strong. Only mods are downpipe, efini y-pipe, boost/water temp gauges. Not looking to spend much money, but I have time.

I was thinking about:
- dropping the tranny and checking the clutch, replacing clutch bearings and shifter bushings
- replace 02 sensor
- put in better grounds
- taking out rats nest and doing 100% hose job
- testing all solenoids per FSM
- checking FPD, injectors, etc
- re-doing grounds
- check motor mounts
- replace TB and UIM gaskets

Bugs to fix:
- 80% hose job (the 20% stock rubber hoses look really hard and the silicone is ugly light blue)
- 10-6-10 boost
- fuel smell at startup on a full tank
- 3k acceleration hesitation, more recently also a nasty bucking hesitation when engine is warming up and driven at very light throttle between 2k and 3k
- noisy tranny bearing (on startup, clutch in)
- notchy gearshift
- crappy raspy engine noise near downpipe

What am I missing? Anything worth doing 'while I'm in there'?

Dave
