Hi, The engine and transmission assembly must be removed from the vehicle to replace the clutch on a RAV4 AWD. It's a 10+ hour job. Good luck.
To replace the transmission clutch on any stick shift vehicle, remove the engine and/or transmission. The engine and transmission must be separated since the clutch is between them. Pull the flywheel and have it resurfaced. replace the flywheel, following recommended procedures. Use a new pilot bushing/glan nut. Replace the clutch disk using a NEW pressure plate assembly and be certain to align the disk using a pilot shaft. Re-install the engine/transmission in the reverse order that you took it/them out.
The short answer is about a full day. Clutch replacement of an MGB, Roadster or GT entails the removal of the engine/transmission assembly from the car, then separating the two to access the clutch. There is no practical way to get to the clutch any other way, as the transmission cannot be removed with the engine in place.
To replace the clutch, the engine and transmission must be separated. Some prefer to remove the engine, some prefer to remove the transmission, some remove the entire assembly and separate the engine and transmission once they are out of the vehicle. After the engine and transmission are separated, remove the pressure plate clutch and flywheel, have the flywheel resurfaced by a qualified machine shop. Replace the pilot bearing, clutch disk and pressure plate and use an alignment tool to make certain that the clutch disk is aligned between the flywheel and pressure plate. Then reassemble everything.

Replacing the clutch slave cylinder requires removing the transmission assembly. I would recommend purchasing a shop repair manual for that vehicle if you intend on DIY.

No, but you have to remove the wheel assembly and transmission.
Use a clutch alignment tool when you assemble the clutch assembly to the flywheel and the transmission should slide in. Never force it together!
