Re: '96 vw jetta - need clutch or not?

Volks is right the clutch is def on its last legs. its a common problem with veedubs after the clock over 100k the clutch does tend to become a little "worn" it happened to me on my old mk2 golf was driving along happily when the cable snapped and car ended up dead on the street for 5 hours. As for the prices even over in america that seems extortionate over here its about £100 for the clutch and £75 for the labour. i would suggest going to a trade car parts supplier buying the clutch seperately and then looking round for a decent quote. DONT GO FOR THE LOWEST the mechanic will probably cause more problems and rinse you for more money.
