clutch help

Oil on PP and flywheel could be cause by either a rear mail seal on the
engine side (most likely) easy enough to replace and cheap as well or
possibly the main shaft seal on the tranny (small o-ring around the push rod
shaft area on the tranny)

Support engine, disconnect 2 cv joint, disconnect the ground cable, the
speedometer, brake lights switch and any other item attached to the tranny
There are 2 bolts for this starter you need to do next, then remove the
front motor mount (same bolts) then disconnect the rear engine mount (2
bolts attached to chassis or 3 bolts attached to the tranny (either but not
both unless your replacing your mounts.)

To support the engine/tranny I use the 2 cranking straps on a 2x6 (I also
use a 4x4 but both ways work)
Use 2 straps to support (can even go as far as 3 straps for tranny side)

What I like about the strap system, is that once you have the tranny mount
disconnected and all attached objects, you can loosen the engine side bolt,
and now you can pivot a little the end of your tranny end side to make it
easier to change it.
