hydraulic vs mechanical clutch linkage?

I've heard hydraulic clutches are slower, and less precise then the mechanical clutches.. I'm in the process of showing my z28 a t-56 and am undecided as to what i'm to do!

So... hydraulic vs mechanical, upsides, downsides?

discuss

I've heard that crap about a hydraulic clutch too.

Then I went and drove one.

It's a crock.

The VERY NEXT THING I DID, was to get that stupid mechaincal crap off of my 83 car, that I had hated non-stop for all those years I drove 4-speed cars, before I got this 83.

That was in about 86 or 87.

AFAIK there's no Stone Age mechanical garbage available for the T-56. Thank the Lord. At least not if you use the easiest one, which is the LT1 version. So the decision makes itself for you.
