[Tigers] Clutch Hydraulics

[Tom Parker]

At the risk of spending more of your money, you might try Sunbeam
Specialties or Pegassus Racing for hydraulic parts.

That said, maybe the issue is in the bell housing... like a bind or a
cracked fork, or a bad throwout bearing. (probably the last thing you want
to consider...)
