I thought about suggesting this when I wrote my response the other day.
If we were talking about a turbo there'd be no question ... but on an NA
equipped car I don't think its worth the cost of 8 flywheel bolts, the
new style seal and gasket to do this ... unless of course you do see oil
(not clutch fluid) inside the bellhousing ...

Now watch ... my '85 now will lose the oil seal in a way that will
require me to replace it!
