Had to? Why, exactly?

Don't think you have to,just easier to do mechanical with bellhousing and transmission they are using.

I agree with you, buddy.
The 86 Cimarron was hydraulic, and I couldn't stand it.
It turned out that first year Cavalier (also a J car) had a cable clutch, so we just ordered all the parts new from a Chevy dealer..Of course they were only four years old then.
We're going to see if Ford has a better idea. ;-)

For what it's worth I just purchased a 2004 Sunfire 2.2L to attempt to do like Billy. Wish I had his experience and I wouldn't be so uncertain about my abilities to make it run that well. We'll see how this goes but it looks like fun.

IO hope my 30 year old delivery guy here at the store is one. At least he seems to be but baby on the way not sure if his wife will give him enough space to get away to fool with this.

See Billy. I'm not even good with posting on this board by my previous post. LOL. I wanted to do the Neon thing but found the Sunfire first so here it goes.
