Smelmechiz,
Remove the clutch as a matter of priority. You just never know - you could be up for a new clutch half and bearing, so it's best to check before the rest of your parts are sent. Make sure the clutch bore and keyway has not been chewed out. If you try to re-use an old clutch half that has a bit of play in it, you may end up paying for a new motor, which is more expensive in the long run...My understanding is that you can clean out the clutch bearing and re-pack with grease if need be. However, if it has been flogged out, you may need to order a replacement.
