Mates,
my miggie was converted from auto to manual and nowdays when her clutch is getting weak and I'm looking for a new clutch kit the dealer asks me if my clutch is cable or hydraulic operated...If my memory serves all the manual v6 was mantled with hydraulic one but mine is converted. Plus I got more puzzled as found this on the fleebay :

that is a kit for 3.0 v6 cable operated. I've got much more puzzled when found various kits for 2.5 v6 with different diameters! I've got no idea... :-[ if you could give me any clue in point of this I would much appreciate! :)

Omega should be hydraulic :y
Easy way to tell is the brake fluid reservoir. There is a 'tail' of pipe that comes from the left side. On automatics, it is simply moulded shut. On manuals there's a hose from it which goes to the clutch pedal master cylinder left of the brake servo. From there it disappears down the back of the engine to the top of the bellhousing :y

Omega-B clutches were all hydraulic

Thanks for responses, the symptome is cracking noise very rarely, clutch does not slide and release normally, the noise ceases by repeated pushing of pedal. No fluid loss everything else seem normal. I'm adviseless a bit as no sign of malfunction of the plates but the cylinder only. Should I swap complete kit yet?
