Even more tranny rebuild questions...!

Okay, ready to order the tranny parts for rebuild and have a few more questions.
I am getting grinding on second when tranny is cold (more on downshift than upshift). Looking at the second gear and second gear syncromesh sleeve, the teeth are worn smooth/chamfered at the corners. To stop the grinding do I have to replace both the 2nd gear and the syncromesh sleeve, or can I get away with just the syncromesh sleeve? Strangely, the molysynchro looks pretty good.
Reverse gear has the leading edge of one tooth missing. Should I replace the reverse gear since it will throw of shaft balance (reverse is spinning all the time, right?)
Bearings - I plan to replace the three pinion shaft bearings (two taper rollers at the rear, and deep groove ball in front). Also I will replace two needle bearings on cluster-shaft (one in primary drive housing, one in rear of cluster shaft. I do not plan to replace tapers in chain sprockets (top or bottom), or the two taper rollers on the differential output. Does this sound right?
I admit I am starting to worry about the amount of money I am hemorrhaging...
Thanks.
Jeff
