The 4th gen clutch hydraulics are a sure thing, as are the 4th gen pedals. I went that route when I swapped in my T56.

You need a 4th gen specifically because it is a pull-type where the 3rd gen is a push-type and would not work with the t56.

I believe the pedals are the same from reading info about that. I didn't have that problem as my car was already a 5 speed car.

From my earlier post:
