With an automatic, maybe not for some people, but for me was a real bitch
when I changed an automatic GolfGL A2, starter
I think I had to pull the axle, the back engine mount - hold up the
engine - there may be easier ways to do it. Stick-shift starter is easy to
replace not automatic. I did it twice some years ago. The first time it
took me hours.
