91 Jetta Clutch

O-ring · #1 10-23-2005, 08:45 PM

I'm thinking about purchasing a 91 Jetta Carat with 95k miles. It looks to have had the distributer and coil replaced recently. When I drove it, the clutch didn't grab until the pedal was almost full up -- so it needs one. What would a dealer charge to replace clutch. The dude wants $2500 for it. I might buy it if I can talk him down to a price based on what clutch replacement might cost. Any suggestions or comments welcome.

Just because the pedal trave is to long does not indicate that the clutch is the main problem. Have you had a look at the clutch master and slave cylinders? Its not uncommon for those to go bad on older VW's.

And german cars rock you bunch of twits :P

I have loads of them, E30 M3's, E46 M3, VW R32, Porsche 944 Turbo. I love all my german girls.
