Spot on Gordon.

Initially it took me 4 hours to pull the trans and swap the clutch on a Rabbit/Scirocco.

After doing it a couple times for myself(and others!) I had it down to 2 hours.

A couple short 2 x 6, a long 2 x 4, and a threaded rod with a hook to hold the engine up was just as good as the factory tool.

One of the highest $-per-hour jobs I ever did. Parts from Globe Auto Parts were about $80 for all 3 parts. The job paid me $400 back in the 80s.
