I cant decide if its easier for remove the tranny or pull the engine to change a clutch...

With all the fragile lines on the engine I know I would much rather pull the tranny!
I'd be shocked if the fw is damaged. If its worn a lot though it may need planed. You just have to look at it. If you remove it you should mark where it came off. If you plane it you also need to shim it or your pressure point will be very close to the floor, like my 280e and my 240/300d. I don't know where or how to get the shims. 300sdog knows about the shims I think.
