Martin,

In order to remove the pressure plate and disc, the transmission must travel past the front of the pressure plate. Since it is already disconnected from the engine (through the disc) you my as well just pull it out all the way. Remember the disc must be aligned correctly using a jig or a spare input shaft so re-assembling the transmission will go smoothly.
The more room the better.

In my younger days, I could do this myself but the last time I did it I had an assistant.

This winter's project is to r/r my overdrive, at which time I'd like to
replace the clutch. Can I do this w/o actually lifting the gearbox out of the
car, just sliding it back?
