Mark, I have always run the 'stock' style T.O. bearing. I've run several
different clutches, from Laycock to Tilton, and have always had good luck with
it.
I've known several TR racers who have used the 'hydraulic' type mechanism and
have always had problems at the track and have been difficult if not impossible
to fix.
My vote is the stock linkage and a Tilton clutch,
BTW, car is still for sale.
