 If you have one of the older engines, it will have a rope seal main seal that will require an engine tear down to get at.  The newer engines have a changeable seal with its own set of problems but is easier (I guess) . I have put off any projects like that as they tend to grow into complete  multi year projects  which may not pay off  at resale.

Don't pull the transmission until you know which seal you have.  It is an oily mess to deal with. If the clutch looks and feels like it is dry and working well and it is an older engine, I wouldn't pull it down. (just my opinion)
