I haven't worked on a mitsu but on some cars you don't have to remove the engine to drop the trans so check the repair manual and see, might save you some time...You've done a trans before so I'd say your qualified, the only real difference between doing a rwd and a fwd is the amount of space you have. Good luck in the endeavor.

As far as your symptoms, 50k is pretty premature for a clutch job but if your sure it's slipping and the clutch is in adjustment then you gotta do what you gotta do. In all honestly a clutch should last 4x as long, sh*t I did my clutch at 157k not because it wore but because the throw-out bearing took a big sh*t.
