Randall> 1) What happens when the hydraulics start to leak ? (Hint :

Well, yeah, but that doesn't sound any worse than what many people currently
go through with their current (ancient, well-worn) setups. The blurb
states, "... A new clutch throw-out mechanism is recommended. HVDA offers a
hydraulic one with steel braided hoses, designed for racing, for $220.
There is an option for a mechanical clutch throw-out bearing...." From
this, I infer that if the possibility of leakage gives you the willies you
can stick with a hydro-mechanical setup. I'm not sure what to make of
"designed for racing" other than that it's probably somehow over-designed
for street use. (Of course, it might mean, "We anticipate you pull your
engine for a complete teardown after every couple of club meetings, so
what's a little fluid leakage between friends?", but I sort of doubt it. ;-)

That I have no idea about.
