	96 Jetta 125k miles Manual Transmission. My Jetta started to 'slip' today while cruising the highway in 5th gear. It happened a couple times but recovered after letting up on the gas a little. After making it to my destination I later noticed that I was leaking 'something' rather heavily. I spoke to the local / private VW guy that does most of my work. He thought the leak was a clear indication that the transmission was shot and would need to be replaced. He also recommended replacing the clutch (I believe it's original). He estimated $1350. New Clutch and Refurbed Trans. - Is this a fair price? Is it worth doing the work? I know I will also need new struts front and back in the next 6 months... not to mention tires. I will know for sure tomorrow when he gets a chance to look at it in the shop. FWIW - This shop has been very good and reliable for everything I have had done in the past. Thanks for any opinions and advice.

Sorry to say, he may be right. The slipping is a sign of the need for a new clutch. I would guess he identified the fluid as transmission fluid and, while it may not be a sign that the transmission is shot, it does mean something is leaking at best. He may have noticed a crack in the housing for example and that would indicate it is gone. -- Joseph Meehan 26 + 6 = 1 It's Irish Math

	My guess the differential cam apart and wore a hole in the case. Not sure where you live but if it's close to Western PA I have a trans here all ready to go.

	figure 5 hours labor at the most and the rest in parts. Price sounds good considering a VW remanufactres unit is around 2000 just for the trans alone.

	I have a 96 Jetta with 137K miles on it. It's been a solid performer since I bought it approximately 40K miles ago. It's developed a strange noise. When I lock or unlock the doors using the remote key entry, there is a knocking noise in the trunk for approximately 15 - 30 seconds. It sounds like a motor running. Any ideas for things to check would be appreciated. Terry

Perhaps your car uses a similar system and the noise you are hearing is related to the vacuum motor. good luck, nate -- replace "fly" with "com" to reply. http://home.comcast.net/~njnagel

	Thanks Nate. Funny, you say you are not familiar with anything that new, and I think of this car as old. Guess everything is relative. I have confirmed that the noise is coming from the trunk on the drivers side close to the back. Is it a simple matter of replacing the pump?

It just has a leak. It should run for 2 or 3 seconds and stop. It it runs more, there is a leak somewhere. There is a hose going to every door and the break at the bends. -- Eduardo K. \| Darwin pone las reglas. http://www.carfun.cl \| Murphy, la oportunidad. http://e.nn.cl \| \| Yo.
