You might as well do a complete rebuild because it requires taking pretty much everything apart anyway. Make sure you have a book and read through it 3 times before you even start. You will need at minimum some transmission snap ring pliars($25). I'm not sure what all you are replacing exactly.
If you are going to be working on anything with springs, I made my own compressing tools out of 1/4" thick 1" wide steel and some All-Thread. Just get creative and figure out a way because plan on $100+ for just about any tool you need to work on a transmission.
