M40 Transmission problem(s)! 120-130

Hello all again... as of a few days ago my tranny in my 67 220 became more diffcult to shift(especially 1st at a stop) and when shifting into reverse it sounds and feels like the gears are grinding and have to just sort of muscle it in there (I know not the best but its my daily and the only car I have). I noticed that the clutch pedal was behavin differently about 1-2 weeks ago it started to engauge later and sometimes I would have to push it all the way down as much as the carpet would let me to fully disengauge it (would rev high~1.5k rather than the 1k at idle) also there is about a 2in "deadzone" in the pedal which does nothing at all feels like its just free floating. So I am thinking it is the clutch, the fuild is good(not low or anything like that) I have not had the chance to check the oil in the tranny to see if there is anything suspious going on there or the slave cyclinder. The last time it was rebuilt (according to the orignal owner who I bought it off of) was about 200k mi ago, but the clutch master cyclinder had be replaced about 50k ago now (Ill have to check my records he gave me to see if the slave is in there as well, but at work so thatll have to wait). So I guess my ? is this is the clutch and I should order one from IPD or where ever and if I do end up doing that, what else should I replace while I have the bugger out? Ill probally be taking to a friends shop and putting it on a lift he has done tranny work before, not on a volvo (I have no tranny experience, but eager to learn and bust a couple of knuckles!). Should I replace all the seals bearing what? There seems to quite a few options or does my clutch just need some major adjusting? Also I would like to upgrade to M41 with the J overdrive (would be sooo much nicer on the freeway) what would I have to look for on do that is a bolt up match, do I need to have a differnet spindle or shorten the drive shaft? I remeber reading about it here (did a quick search before posting but couldnt find anything similar to my problem) saying somehting about the angle and that you need a differnt oil pan or something of the sort, oh btw it is a B18D motor..

Thanks VERY much in advance, just so wanna know what to expect somewhat when this happens and order parts so their there if I need them.

-Alan

edit: Also are there any volvo special tools that I should have on hand that will make my life easier?
