Hydraulic clutch vs non hydraulic clutch

Which do you prefer and why?

Cable. I can feel it better.

No rubber. I can feel it better.

Having spent all my time on a cable clutch and now running a hydraulic clutch, it doesn't really bother me. It's not really that big of a deal.

Cable
better feel, cheaper to fix when it breaks.

No fluid changes on a cable either.

I notice a lot of people with poorly lubricated and out of adjustment cables. So it's not like you can neglect it completely. I am not going to change my own fluid, getting the air out of it is more important than brakes, so I am going to have the dealer change it when they do the ABS system every year.

I like the feel of a cable, but hydros work ok.

Having had both, I'm fine with either.
Also, I'm with Trip. I'm not dicking with the fluid when it comes time to change it out on the 1125.

I've had both.

I like cable because you can adjust it to your liking.

I like hydraulic because you don't have to fuck with it...btw clutch fluid doesn't need to be changed as often as brake fluid due to the lack of heat. I mean, I've owned cars well over 10 years old with 100,000+ miles that have never had the clutch fluid changed
