Clutch is easy in a jetta.  Remove axles, remove linkages, support engine, 
remove tranny mounting bolts.  Remove the two top bolts last while you are 
holding the tranny with your other hand, then lift the tranny out with one hand.  
No really, no jack required.  Replace the clutch.  While you're in there, 
replace the rear seal.  If you don't, it will start leaking next week.  With the 
tranny out, replace the input shaft seal, the drive flange seals (optional, but 
easier now than later), and don't forget the little teeny tiny clutch pushrod 
seal inside the input shaft.  Good luck.
