What normally goes bad in a 5MT?

Since my 4EAT is slowly dying, I'm going to have a used 5MT swapped into it, in about a month. Besides putting on a new clutch and flywheel (if needed), what else should be replaced? Basically what things typically break, that I should replace while the tranny is still not installed?

Replacing the synchros would be a very good idea.
