Double check to make sure that isn't a regular non-Syncro
clutch job time.  To do a Syncro clutch you should be in the
11 hour range.  I don't have a labor guide here but we used
Chilton's at my last VW dealership where I was a Service
Advisor.  I really think that 6 hours is a bit light if you were
to bid out a job like this.

Wouldn't be the first time I was wrong, though.
