Looks like you've had the bases covered with Bram's response. One more thing you absolutely, positively should do is replace the pilot bearing in the back end of the crankshaft. It might be a PITA to remove, but a dragging pilot bearing will greatly impair shifting.

While the gearbox is out, drain the old oil and refill with new - Red Line MTL is the good juice. Overfill by about a pint - the top shaft in the M47 doesn't get lubed as well as it should at the normal fluid level. Make sure that both the fill and drain plugs are not overtorqued... coupla years ago I drained the GB oil and then almost stroked out when I couldn't get the FILL plug loose! But that's another story (no, I didn't turn the car on its side). While the plugs are out, blast 'em with brake cleaner to get the metal off the center magnet pin.
