Hi Paul,
Not really worth the bother ... once you have all that stuff
disconnected.removed it really is little more work to lift the gearbox out
entirely.
A word of caution.
After encountering clutch shudder more than once after installing a new
clutch I would strongly recommend getting the flywheel resurfaced. It is an
inexpensive job to have done at a competent auto machine shop and is a lot
less work than pulling everything out again.

Also too, consider replacing the pilot bushing, the release 'bearing' 
and the front seal on the gearbox while you're at it. Check side play on 
the release bearing fork; you probably won't need to do anything, but 
it's a bit of a job to put new bushings in.

Paul,
 
If you do get the flywheel resurfaced which is a good suggestion. Mark the
orientation of the flywheel before removing to have minimal affect on the
engine balance.

Hi chaps

The clutch on my 100/6 BN4 is starting to slip a bit. So, I am thinking of =
replacing it.

The question is ... is it possible/practical to change it in situ (without =
removing the gearbox and the engine from the car)?

ie: lift off transmission tunnel, undo and drop propshaft, disconnect gearb=
ox from engine (no overdrive) and move it backwards on a jack, change clutc=
h and put it all back together?

Many thanks
