That's what I'm running... changing over to turnbuckles & rod ends makes things very smooth.
Factory linkage has a finite life too especially with a heavier pressure plate. Eventually the link pins will wear and also egg out the holes in the Z-bar and clutch pedal and then things get very sloppy and can even hang up.
I prefer a mechanical clutch to a hydraulic any day of the week. The pedal just "feels" better and you have a better feel what the clutch is doing.
Hydraulic clutches are nice and smooth but don't really provide much feedback. Sometimes you don't have any other option though, such as extensive chassis / engine mods or headers in the way.
