    Default Time Estimate: BMW 525i clutch

    Fellow military member wants to pay me to take care of their clutch on a 92 BMW 525i. I've been through the manuals, done all my research, I'm ready to take on the job, but I can't find any kind of a time estimate on the project.

    Anyone have any guesses how long this is gonna take? (given...lets hope all goes as planned) or where I can find it? Checked VW vortex, check a couple online manuals...haven't found anything for the time, though.

    Thanks in advance.

    Book time says 4.6 hours. Add 0.4 for flywheel replacement.

    5hours? That's it? Holy crap...

    I was looking at Porsche the other day and told the guy no-go. Book said 16hours... Now worth the like 200$ I would have made off it...

    That's R/R time? Not just removal?
