hydraulic clutch questions

IF you want some idea of what operating a heavy BB clutch with a hydraulic pedal is like, just remove the over center spring from your factory linkage and start doing leg exercises!!!

You won't rupture any lines!!!

The thing to remember is that there is no "magic" in hydraulics. The "gearing" or "leverage" in hydraulics works EXACTLY the same as it does in mechanical levers

That is, if you move the pedal so far, the "other end" will move so far

IF you adjust the lever dimension to INCREASE movement on the other end, pedal EFFORT goes up

Exactly same way on hydraulics. IF you adjust cylinder bores to increase movement on the bottom end, pedal effort goes up exactly as if it were mechanical

There is no magic "boost" or leverage in a hydraulic setup.

The only one advantage is that IF your mechanical linkage is POORLY DESIGNED, you might reduce some friction, and the overall installation will be simplified

The problem I've heard is that some of the aftermarket hydraulic throwout assemblies are unreliable and sometimes don't have much travel.
