I have done this twice and both times pulled the engine and transaxle as a unit then split them once out being careful not to put pressure on the output shaft. This way you can do the crank seals as well. I have read where others have dropped the transaxle while in the car and then proceeded with replacing the clutch, but even then the trans and front mounts have to be unloaded so you have to support the engine because only one mount point is connected. I recommend that you change out the flywheel bolts and pressure plate mount bolts as well. While the tranny is out you might as well change the rear seal, output shaft seals, pilot seal, and the shift fork as well. A lot of work, but well worth it if your clutch is going and not really a bad job if you have the tools, time, and a place to work. Engine pull can be done in half a day, label all connections and change out your mounts as well. This can be done in a weekend as i have done this all by myself without assistance...again, twice. Also not when you remove the bolts from the CV inner shells to the output shafts to take your time and clean each one first with a tooth pick...makes the job easier. A Bentley manual is a must in my opinion. Hope this helps.
