Are you getting any rattling noise while drivign liek a bad throw out bearing? (Release bearing)

Only way to see how things look is take it apart.
Check your clutch slave Do you still have pressure in the line?Nice clutch pedal feel?

I would check the hydraulic systems before tearing into it. I mean, if its not something internal and you go and do all that work and then get it back together without checking the "easy" stuff first, you probably would have done all that work for nothing. Might as well check the stuff you can get to first.
