The hydraulic clutch is used because it is simpler to route a hydraulic line than a mechanical linkage system.
Also around 80-100K or having shifting problems check that the clutch master/slave are not leaking or air in the line. In normal driving it is not that clutch or transmission going bad.

I can argue with that, having changed few clutches in my older cars, pedal assembly and clutch cable is easy to route and install. It will give you heavy clutch feel most of the time, even with the weakest pedal springs, but in regards to bite feel - metal cable transmits everything that happens to сlutch release bearing, clutch itself much better than damped hydraulic line and valve. What about speed? Mechanical link will be faster as well, and its a $10 cable in retail money we talk about (~$2 piece is what it costs to manufacture). Compare it with hydraulic clutch assembly cost.
Hydraulic clutches are there for your feather-light feel and shorter throw, thats it. No other advantages.
