I just put a clutch into a '97 Jetta 2.0; was going to replace the
self-adjusting clutch cable with the manual one, until I spent several
hours disassembling the dashboard without getting to the point of either
seeing or touching the upper end of the clutch pedal arm, where it
attaches. Talked to a friend, who replaced one for someone else (mutual
friend); it took him 14 HOURS to replace - and that cable was broken, so
that there was no option other than replacement. He has had VWs for 50
years, mostly air-cooled, is a rebuilder of both air- and water-cooled
VW transmissions [did the bolt kit and rebuilt my 16v trans], and he
_knows_ what he's doing. I'd be lucky to match his time on most jobs; I
re-installed the instrument cluster, fuse-&-relay unit, etc, and
buttoned it up.

Subject: Re: [a2-16v-list] front control arm bolt thread repair
I saw that proceedure for the subframe support thread repair. So the
front control arm could be done in the same manner? At least there
are multiple options. I hope the nut/threads are still solid enough
for the front to accept the helicoil since that will be easiest.

The fix I have seen was to cut a small access hole and get a nut in
there then tack weld it in place. Not the most fun project while im
the car, but it works well.
