Clutch work involves????

[Dave Hord]

Grrr...sigh...sulk.

Driving home today I started to experience some strange symptoms.  In 3rd, 4th 
and 5th gear if I drop my foot on the gas the rev's rise, but the speed does 
not (much).  Grrr...somethings wrong.  I suspected the clutch.

Well, I called Mark Mittler of Mittler motors (I traded some 'stuff' for future 
free advice). Mark is a phenominal mechanic (Newmarket Ontario, Canada) and 
_really_ knows his Audi's and VW's.  

Mittler wasn't in, but the other Mark was.  Diagnosis (over the phone): 
clutch.  Sigh...Ten hours Labour, $240 for clutch kit w/release bearing.

I know I can't do this job myself...I might be able to, but no time.
So my question is this:  What does doing the clutch involve? There are a few 
things in the front end/tranny area that I've been 'thinking' of.  If they need 
to drop the whole subframe etc. then I might add to the list and save on labour 
costs.
