Re: Hydraulic vs. Mechanical Clutch

I disagree the mechanical if your body mounts are good is ok but the hydraulic it don’t matter there good as you get the hydraulic advantage of a easy to push clutch pedal.I got a 1966 d200 original clutch works like a champ .The bad thing is the 10 spline disk have to custom make them.
