Moss, Mini Mania, Motorhead. Get the 'real' throwout bearing.

Any button (or similar solid disc clutch) will be equally hard on you. The
'spring-loaded' center is far better for any application other than full
race (IMHO)

I just removed a Tilton solid center disc from my 1275 Bugeye because of the
shudder upon engagement. The 'cure' is to slip the clutch more, therefore
elevated wear for street and light performance applications.

Just my perspective.
