[net.auto] Info on VW rabbit clutch?

warren@ihnss.UUCP (Warren Montgomery) (04/17/84)

Is there anyone out in netland with a VW rabbit (or equivalent) with
any experience on clutch longevity and repair.  I would be curious
to know how long the clutch lasts and what the approximate cost to
replace it is.  I have a 79 rabbit with 85K miles and no obvious
signs of trouble (i.e. it doesn't slip and the pedal clearance
hasn't deteriorated noticably), but would be curious to know from
someone who has had to have one replaced what the general experience
is.  Please respond by mail and don't respond unless you have some
specific experience to report, since I'm sure that wear rates and
repair costs vary tremendously among similar FWD cars.)
