Just be careful to try and preserve the gasket(s) between the gearstack intermediate plate and main case when you pull it apart. You'll have to measure the gasket thickness and replicate that thickness with the new gaskets during re-assembly. These gaskets determine/set ring and pinion engagement and are critical to get set back up as closely as possible when you put it back together.
Once the gearstack is out, the rest of the case is pretty easy to fully tear down. Might as well plan on replacing all the seals and gaskets while you're in there.
Also, here on the East coast (PA) there's a guy that rebuilds the gearstacks for a very reasonable cost (plus whatever parts you need). It's the parts replacement that'll bite hard though - just rebuilding 1st gear runs over $5 bills... and unfortunately it's the gear that gets the most wear and tear.
