I believe you can do that you just need to get the throwout bearing off without hurting your PP and get your flywheel and pressure plate resurfaced.

I think that the pressure plate also plays a major part in the holding capacity of the clutch, since it is what holds pressure on the disc itself.

I wouldn't want to risk all of that work pulling the tranny and all and then find out that you need a new pressure plate too. I would just get the assembly myself. Try to find something cheap on ebay.

Good luck.
