Grigg has the same opinion as I. I can't understand why they ever came up with such a stupid idea. Simple linkage worked for close to 100 years, what more could you want. I have had nothing but grief with the hydraulic clutch actuation systems. Usually when a manufacturer makes a change, it is because it (usually) is cheaper, or sometimes is better. This system is more costly and certainly is not nearly as trouble free as before. If there is any way possible, make the linkage work.
