Just do it however you please, and post back when you're done. Let us know how it went, whichever route you take.
Will do, i do not want to pull the entire motor, no need. I will pull the flywheel and have it resurfaced, and do the seal behind it. I will be starting to take it apart tonight in the shop, last night i soaked all the bolts with PB Blaster.

started at 5, just finished taking the clutch off. got annoyed a few times but it came off with nothing breaking. I was stupid though and did not label some bolts, im sure ill figure it out. gonna take the flywheel off and get it resurfaced, looks good, no cracks or hot spots. clutch looks good too actually, but still gonna replace it. overall, not a bad job.

so after 7 weeks of waiting on parts i finally got the tranny back in the car tonight, went well, few little snags. Im messed up big time though and hooked up the clutch line and the bleeder to the wrong holes......thats gonna be a fun project to deal with in the tiny opening. just gonna get some alxe grease tomorrow and flush the tranny. i ended up going for a used tranny, 80k ish for 400 bucks.
