The clutch can certainly be changed by removing the gearbox from beneath the car. It will entail draining the bearbox, removing the lefthand side suspension and driveshaft and lowering the engine slightly. To enable this you need to take the weight of the engine using some form of overhead support, and also a large trolley jack is needed to lower the gearbox and remove it fom the side of the car. This box is quite heavy and can be quite difficult to remove squarely without it tipping and damaging the radiator. To be honest, for the price of a new clutch a firm that deals in specialist 'fast fit' will be able to supply and fit a new unit in about an hour as they have all the necesaary tools and jigs to carry out the job.
