I would try filing the burrs off the flywheel teeth first. Pulling the tranny is not fun by yourself, even with a tranny jack. You have to pull off the shifter first, drive a roll pin out of the shift rail socket and keep it from dropping into the tranny, pull off the tcase and both driveshafts, pull off the clutch cylinder, and pull the tranny.

If you have the tranny off, replace the clutch, pressure plate, throwout bearing, and pilot bearing, and check the tranny input shaft for in/out and sideways slop - should have none. It's such a biotch to get at that you change the clutch whenever you can get at it, worn out or not.
