Advice for repair

I have an oil leak at the rear main seal confirmed. Should I replace the clutch at the same time I do the repair? The clutch seems OK but the car does have 100,000 kilometres on the clock. Any advice?

I guess it depends on how much you enjoy removing the transmission. If it's fun for you, great.

For me, I'd be replacing clutch, seals, throwout, sleeve, fork, and anything else I can think of to avoid having to do that job again.

I figure I am removing the engine to do the rear main seal so might as well do the full meal deal.
