I’ve never done the job on a 2000, but done 94 – 97, and I don’t think it is significantly different. In order to replace the pressure plate, the transmission needs to come completely out of the clutch assembly, which means pulling the trans down and out of the car. This is the only way you have enough room to get to all the bolts that hold the pressure plate in place. Sorry, I know that wasn’t the answer you were hoping for, but it is the way it works.

You are quite welcome. Honestly, once you’ve done all the work to get the transmission loose, pulling it out isn’t that difficult.
The lead up work is significant though. You need to disconnect both lower ball joints, remove both drive shafts, remove the radius rod from the transmission side of the car (passengers side on 94 – 97’s) remove shift cables, unbolt the clutch slave cylinder and it’s hose / pipe and move it out of the way. You also need to remove the transmission mount, and part of the rear engine mount, as well as the starter and distributor. Plenty of stuff has to come apart!
