It's not just you.  I did it in fact (but not on purpose!)   My former 87
CGT had to have the clutch slave replaced, and I didn't see the roll pin
holding the clutch slave in, so I dropped the tranny, thinking that
whatever was holding the clutch slave in was inside the bellhousing.  I was
quite pissed when I discovered the roll pin once the tranny was out.  Mine
came out quite easily, and the clutch slave came out easy, too (may have
helped that when the tranny is out you can whack the clutch slave with a
hammer.)

This experience was helpful, however, because my current Audi CGT was
picked up cheap due to a broken spring on the clutch release bearing holder
(I don't think they replaced the release bearing when they put in a new
clutch.  This CGT has a cable clutch release, however)  So I got the car
for less than the price of a new clutch!
