Clutch was replaced about 6-8 months ago with the original mechanical linkage. Everything worked til the frame cracked, the bracket broke and the pushrod bent. It has a centerforce disc and a hayes pressure plate with a self aligning throwout bearing. Thought maybe the bearing would be different for mechanical verses hydraulic but I compared them at the parts store and they looked the same. Only diffierence I saw was the fork was straight verses curved for the mechanical. I've heard that the disc can rust to the flywheel or pressure plate if the car sits close to the ground in dirt but I didn't see any signs of rust when the tranny was out...
