Is it a five speed transmission? If it is, make sure you have all those gromets/bushes and other bits that go with them as I'm told you cannot get some of them new anymore.  They are pricey secondhand (as I know to my cost after they fell out somewhere between the bench and the car). Without the cable the gearbox will dump it's oil on the floor. I would suggest you get a parts diagram to see how they go together and to confirm you have all the bits. If you gearbox is 90% installed personally I would give the clutch a careful try, but accept that any components not replaced, or thought to maybe be fautly, may well fail sooner than hoped.
