I've heard of alot of good places that can put new cluthes in, but my clutch can barely grab any gear (thus can't take it that far), I'm located about 15 mins outside of West Chester. I know of Toms Vw's, but thats about it. Any recomendations or advice where to go (and about how much this will cost)? I have a 95 Vr-6 and I plan to use the O.E.M. clutch again (because the I've had lasted 120xxx miles http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif ). Thanks

If you have jack stands it's not bad to do yourself. remember diff up. when taking it out.

I replaced the clutch at 20k. Once I took it out, I found the clutch plate was fine! The dual mass flywheel was causing the slipping problem, it had about 2" of play in each direction!!
