You definately need to get the flywheel resurfaced. There is usually a pretty quick turn around on them. That "one or two" time use tool had made it through 5 uses for me and still looks fine. It is cheap and easy. If not the real tool isn't that expensive either.

The bad one is the T-case bolts. That is not good. While you have the tranny out, check down in the holes to see if there are any good threads left at the bottom that the current bolts didn't reach. If there are more than 3, I would just get some longer bolts and use those with washers on the top to get the perfect length. If there aren't any you are going to have to try to find a machine shop to heli-coil them. It won't be real cheap, but yes you do need them. 4 out of 5 might pass, but definately not 2 good ones out of 5!
yea, the t case to tranny holes are obviously stripped. I've done it before too many times. Um... You can try rethreading them w/ whatever tool you use to do that... i did and then lock titied it. now it works fine. 4 outta 5 w/o one of the bottom ones seems to do good, even for racing. Other than that, everything else is like VFAQ says, Just do it the suspension way though, you don't have to pull the axles out too, btw that was my mistake first time I did my tranny though I dont know if VFAQ says to do so.
