You needa specialtool to remove it and install it. You will need to measure the air gap between the clutch plate and pulley as you install it, .010" to .015" will usually do it.

Can you mess up your car using a clutch that is going out?
Yes you can. You need to replace the clutch when you realize its starting to go out. You will mess up with gears. When a clutch fails, it is usually due to a worn clutch disk or worn springs in the pressure plate. If you continue to drive the car with a worn disk, the rivets on the disk will eventually start to rub against the pressure plate or flywheel. You will then have to resurface the flywheel and replace the pressure plate. Before replacing a clutch, make sure it is adjusted properly, since an out of adjustment clutch will slip and act like it is worn out.

You do not need any special crankshaft installer, when replacing the head gasket. The crankshaft and the head gasket are on opposite ants of the engine.
Any ideas as to why a 1997 Geo Metro will not shift into gear with the clutch depressed and engine running it will shift into gear if the engine is not running?
The springs around the clutch plate have probably came out and locked up between the pressure plate and the clutch plate and locked them together. you need to change the clutch plate and have the pressure plate checked for damage.

How much money does it cost to repair the clutch in a 1989 Ford Bronco II?
Cheap... A couple hundred bucks if you do it yourself. How long do you need this thing to last? If the clutch is just worn, and you have not driven it much w/ the worn clutch, you might be able to get away with replacing just the clutch disk and throwout bearing while leaving the pressure plate and flywheel for the next owner. If the clutch is blown, meaning the throwout bearing seized, the springs on the pressure plate are toast or you drove it with a slipping clutch for too long, the cost will be more, as the pressure plate adds $100 and machining the flywheel is another 30 - 50$.
If you have a hydraulic clutch and its slipping do you need to replace it?
Typically, yes. When a clutch engages it is the result of the springs of the pressure plate pinching the clutch plate into the flywheel. Anything that results in less pressure against the clutch plate will result in slipping. A worn damaged plate spring can end up creating less pressure. A worn clutch plate will not be as thick resulting in less pressure. Slipping can also be caused by oil that may have leaked onto the clutch plate. Unfortunately, the only way you can determine the cause of the problem will be to remove either the transmission or the engine so that you can examine the clutch assembly.
How do you repair clutch on vw 3.5 lt?
I am not sure what you mean by repair because it is a wear item. It would need to be replaced which would involve disconnecting your transmission from the engine, removing the pressure plate and flywheel bolts to disassemble the old unit then either getting the flywheel resurfaced or replacing it with new as well as a new pressure plate and clutch. You need a clutch alignment tool when you are reassembling the clutch,flywheel and pressure plate set. It usually comes with a clutch "kit" then you would reassemble and it would be wise to bleed to slave cylinder or adjust the clutch cable if it happens to be a mechanical transmission versus hydraulic. IF it is a mechanical transmission then you would be wise to first check the tension on the clutch cable to see if maybe you are not engaging the clutch entirely when you release the pedal as this can be a common cause of slippage in a mechanical transmission.
Clutch will not disengage?
If it's a hydraulic clutch, try bleeding the slave cylinder. Manual linkage, try adjusting the clutch. If no help, something's wrong with the pressure plate and you need a new clutch.
