Yes there is a way to remove the clutch. By removing the front portion of the gear box, you can get to the two pieces of the clutch which interact. These are two round disks, one with 5 planetaries in it, and the other which houses the odd shaped gear which goes onto the final output shaft. By soldering/welding these two plates together, you can take off the entire front clutch assembly. This is the asembly starting with the big plast black cover, and as well as the spring and retainers which go along with it.
If you need any help I may be able to take photos or explain better. Hope this helps somewhat.
