I'd use the stock clutch linkage if possible. Switching to hydraulic can be a real chore. Make sure it's going to clear your exhaust. There might be a problem if you have headers.

Do you have the proper flywheel / starter combo for the scattersheild? It could be a determining factor on which clutch you need

Starters for a manuel trans. usually bolt to the bellhousing instead of the block.

What are you using for a transmission mount?

Chances are a stock clutch will work for you.

Good luck with your project Luke.

Thank's I do not have anything but tranny and scatter shield.. I do have a starter that fit's into the hole of the scatter shild. Stock tranny mount seem's to work fine and I don't have exhaust at all... Thank's for the input..
