I have major problems with this video.
First, there is no test for bad brake shoes, the major reason clutches wear out. Ignoring this potential major problem may result in motor failure and /or waste of energy.
Second, often the tranny will not come out easily without cleaning the spindle.
Third, there is no jam test to confirm everything is put back together properly.
I would check out my sticky "replacing direct drive washer brake shoes" above. I would first replace the clutch
If the the tranny coupler test now proves no brake problem, then the procedure can be used, much simpler than my procedure.
If the clutch is replaced and the brakes are bad, the clutch will wear out fast, and it will have to be replaced again along with the brake shoes.

Richappy's points are good ones, you always want to check the brakes when replacing the clutch.
The major purpose of the video is to show how to get the machine open and the transmission out in order to make the repair. Combined with the text of Richappy's Sticky should provide all the info one will need to do this job.
