No photos... But I do know that you need to drop the transmission in order to get to the clutch.

There's more to it than this video indicates, but it will give a general idea of what needs to be done (axles also need to be removed from the transmission):

Lots of other videos on how to install the clutch in these cars.

How many miles should I expect to get out of the factory clutch? I know it depends on many factors, i'm lookin for a ball park.

Still grabbing well at 138K, no slipping at WOT pulls to 3K.

110k mi on the GSW, 204k mi on the MKIV and still the OEM clutches with no quirks.

Naaaicce.

Thank you Information and Links were Great Thanks !

I'm at 204,000 miles, AFAIK its the first clutch, Ive had it for about the last 100k, my last wagon was still good at 130k.. I do tow a trailer occasionally as well. In my experience if you don't abuse it, its sized appropriately and will likely last well over 200,000.
