Default just installed my clutch

First time Ive ever installed a clutch on a C5. Its no way near as hard as everyone says it is. Took between 7-8 hours, considering that alot of guys said it would take 10-12 hours. I guess I got lucky, now Im ready to swap my buddys A4 to a M12. I say special thanks to Dope for the directions of the clutch change, it was very easy to follow. Thanks!

I agree it is not "hard", just time consuming. If you spear the clutch with the driveline the rest is just time consuming, that was probably the most difficult part for me. I also opened up my trans to replace the 3rd gear synchro, so that took a bit of time too.
