To do a Syncro clutch you should be in the 11 hour range. I don't have a labor guide here but we used Chilton's at my last VW dealership where I was a Service Advisor. I really think that 6 hours is a bit light if you were to bid out a job like this. Wouldn't be the first time I was wrong, though. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Todd Hill VolksWerks Transaxles Olympia, WA |
