Re: Quoted 6 hours for a total of $460 to put in a clutch and flywheel.... (r6supafly)
well it would still be 6 hours labor even if it took me 1.5 or 10 hours, thats why there it book time. Thats the motivation to work fast. The 1.5hours was on my car, and my battery is in teh trunk, which saves a few minutes, but I still could have done it around 1.5 hours if I wnted too. I have a real good system down, I know all the bolt sizes and where theya re and how to get to them, I mena I have done my trans about 5 times already.

6 hours is a regular shop rate for a clutch install, and 75 is not a bad rate, its 70 at AWE right now. IT all depends on the area. I know when I was at the dealer hour VW rate was what the porshce rate was at a vw/audi/porsche dealer and the local porsche dealer to me was close to or over 100 an hour.
Personally I have knocked out a MK4 1.8T clutch in under 1.5 hours. I average a little under 3 though probably takign my time.
