Hello forum friends,
I have finally come to the point where I need to replace my clutch. I have never had a car long enough to do this and have no clue what it entails nor what parts I'll need to purchase. Life's struggles combined with my love/hate relationship with this car have left me with little energy to spend attempting to research this solution. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
1998 jetta tdi a3
212k miles
new timing belt @ 200k
replaced shifter tower @ 210k
also, yesterday my shifter tower sheared off a bolt, backed the other bolt about 2" out, and spewed tranny fluid everywhere. Very excited to extract said sheared bolt. I tightened down the remaining bolt and limped home.
yes, my clutch is worn out. There is a decent chance this one is stock. Does this mean a clutch kit will be my solution? plus flywheel? plus other names of things I don't understand yet?
thanks in advance
