Hm...6 hours is for the 98-01 gen Camrys...I don't know about newer ones.  I used to work at a Toyota dealership and the techs did it in around 6 hours...of course the book charged more than that la...I guess working on just one make of cars is much more efficient.

oh working at a dealership is different some time, tech gets to remember what exact tools needed to be used (even tho we can remember most of those more popular one); they will probably encounter the same issue earlier than us (such like something is not willing to come off etc)...

i have seen a "korean brand" dealership having so much fun with a mazda, cuz the tech is only used to their own brand when other makes come in, he becomes clueless...

book time to do 98-01 camry's clutch job is only 6.8 hours, getting done in around 6 hours makes sense....

Oh really?  what makes the new Camry so difficult that needed 14 hours?!?!

If that's the case, I won't even consider that Camry even the salesman can give me a "good" deal...well, the guy hasn't gotten back to me yet.  I guess his manager won't lower the price for me...LOL

the first thing i read on mitchell on demand is:

remove engine with transaxle assy; guess it's quite similiar to the 03 Camry we had replaced the engine, it will be much easier to drop the whole thing and do it on the ground...lol
