John,
I was going to edit an amendment to my reply, but while I had a shower and poured myself a drink, you got here first. ;-)

I was going to say that, if he thinks he ought to do a clutch job, he'd be better off pulling the whole engine with the transmission attached. That, of course, would make anyone think seriously as to whether he needed a new clutch or not. ;-)

The other bit of advice from an old fart averse to balancing transmissions on his chest was going to be to lower a rope or strap through the shifter hole and around the tranny to help hold it up while undoing bolts and to lower it gently to the ground with. I like to run the rope over a 2x4 resting on the dash and the hat shelf, but I suppose that just a piece of pipe lying atop the shifter hole would do.
