     I tried a mechanical linkage, cable and hydraulic for the clutch in a 
     5 speed Supra manual bolted to a Chev, and trucs me, the only one that 
     you could use was the hydraulic, unless you have a left leg like an 
     elephant.  Even with the hydraulic it took a while to find a 
     master/slave combination that would give a reasonably easy clutch to 
     operate.

Pet hate.. hydraulic clutches. What's wrong with a nice, self-adjusting 
cable clutch? Which would you rather have fail on you while driving 
through the Heart of Deepest Africa?
