Trans Leaks! Yikes!

My trans fluid leaks out and it looks like it is coming through the Axel Seals.

I am wondering what to do, i herd you can replace the seals without rebuilding the trans. Well either way i need a clutch since ill be dropping it, and what kind of gear lube do i need for my 5spd ? Red Line something ? Where can i buy a clutch kit at? Whats a good clutch ?

buy a 5th gen clutch kit, you can call Dave Burnette (the parts guy) and he's send you the right stuff (cluthc and pp) to do it. You can replace the axle seals without dropping or replacing the transmission.
MT-90 gear oil if you can find it
