r154 gearbox issues.

Hi all,
I've done some searching about and it seems the only two real problems with the r154 include the 1st gear thrust washer and the rear gearbox seal leaking oil. Though, there is also the poor quality shift that could be seen as a problem.
What I'd like to know is as follows;
Will the thrust washer be a problem with stock power/torque?
(if no, at what power/torque?)
Will being gentle in first (but not other gears) reduce the likeliness of the problem?
Hands up anyone who has had the leaky rear seal.
Will replacing the seal remedy the problem?
I read it's the general drive train vibrations that cause the seal to crack, if so I’m guessing this is an on going problem that will need attending to.
What measures can be taken to improve the quality of the shift?
I read Redline oil was popular, though I personally have had good experiences with Castrol VMX80 and Nulon shift conditioner however this wasn't in an r154.
Would adding a weighty gear knob make things easier?
And finally, though this may be a personal preference thing, what shaped gear knob do you find is easiest to shift with?
Thanks everyone,
Ashlin.
