tune-up/performance 200

Thanks to all of you who responded to my inquiries about the M47 tranny.

I am planning on doing a "tune-up" soon: replace plugs/wires, timing belt and front engine seals, crankshaft pulley/harmonic balancer, and oil change. I'm planning on using Bosch platinum plugs and wires from Auto Zone. Anyone have suggestions about this? Also planning on using Valvoline Max Life 10-30.

To try to alleviate the transmission "slippage", I'm going to change the fluid and adjust the clutch pedal as suggested. Anyone have preferences as to which type of fluid to use in the tranny? Is it worth using a premium ATF, or would the generic be sufficient? What would be the signs of a more serious problem?

Thanks.
