I think you'd have better luck with debugging the cable issue. But if you really want a hydraulic clucthc, I'd suggest the following:

1) Get a B18 bellhousing and clutch slave cylinder. Install.

2) Get a 240 series clutch master cylinder and pedal and linkage. Probably not too incredibly hard to attach the master cylinder to the fire wall - perhaps a few drilled holes, possibly some tinkering with the rod that goes from the pedal to the master cylinder.

3) A little light fabrication of hydraulic lines - actually, snag those from the 240 donor, they should be pretty close to what you need.
