You can change the clutch without removing the engine however you will need to undo the rear engine mount on the passenger side and then jack up the engine cradle about three inches to allow the clutch to clear the rear axle.

You will then need to remove the center bolt on the clutch and insert the clutch removal tool. Alternatively you can make your own tool with a 3/4 inch hardened steel bolt 2 inches long and a 3 inch rod of 5/8ths diameter steel. Insert the rod and then wind in the bolt. The clutch will then wind off the shaft.
