Ward,
If you want to sort the clutch out, go in from the gearbox end - much easier
than pulling the engine. If you remove the dash support and the carpet, you
will find a transmission cover made from cardboard (may have been replaced by
a plastic/fibreglass unit by a previous owner). Remove this, and you have
full access to remove the gearbox from inside the car. You will need to
disconnect the propshaft, but you can get away without complete removal. It
will be easier also if you remove the seats - more room to work. The engine
should be supported by a jack under the sump - use a large piece of wood to
spread the load, to avoid denting the sump.
It is possible to do the whole job single handed (I know, I've done it), but it
will be MUCH easier if there are two of you to manhandle the gearbox out of
its home - it's not light, particularly if you have O/D.
