Should i rebuild this trans/purchase a rebuilt unit?

[QKsilverF1]

Ok, i pulled my trans today to replace the clutch because my relentless stage 2 clutch was slipping after about 2 years and about 10-15k miles. i went with a Spec stage 3+ clutch. So I pull the axles and notice that not that much fluid is coming out. I only collected about this much see link below for picture

Is this a normal amount? seems low.
anyways i finally get the trans off and notice a TON of oil/silver gunk in the bellhousing. could this be due to tranny fluid leaking? see pictures (remember this was all cleaned out 2 years/15k miles ago when my cousin and I did the clutch.)

(again you can do the view full size thing if the picture isnt big enough to see detail, these pictures are all 7.2mp when you click view full size)
If you look at the input shaft you can see some of the gunk pretty well

I also noticed that my throw out bearing seemed to be releasing wierd check this video of it out, it seems to twist at the very bottom of the cluch stroke
(dialup beware, its 35mb but a pretty High quality video)

So to all the experts out there give me your take on what im dealing with here. this is my frist time removing the trans/changing the cluth by myself (and second total) so im pretty clueless about transmissions.

Links contain an Illegal URL?????

Anyhow, if you have fluid in the bellhousing and your trans is dry, the input shaft seal is leaking and thats also why your clutch could be slipping. As for a new trans, how did the old one shift? was it noisey? if no, then just replace the seal and be done with it, if not ship it off to Cliff Ramsdel and let him rebuild it.

Watched the video, theres nothing wrong with your T/O bearing, it never moves out that far and thats why its catching.

yeah, ur links contail an illegal url is what i got, me personally i would rebuild it while it is out of the car but thats just me, u might be better off letting someone else do it that can give you a warranty.

That's all the fluid? That's less than 1 qt!


Here's what I'd do. Take the 5th/reverser gear cover plate off to inspect everything to see if there is shaving inside the tranny.
