Default idea about clutch pedal breakings

I have had one clutch pedal break already and it's apparently a common thing in EF's. Its a pain in the *** to fix and I'm paranoid about this one breaking now too. How hard would it be to put in a pedal assembly from an EG? Would you have to convert to hydro or what?

Go get a replacement pedal and beef it up a bit. Weld a metal plate to it so it will withstand the force...To be honest, my pedal assembly has 350XXXkms, mine was auto and now I have a 5 speed one in, and it's working mint. Be nicer on them.

My friend busted his because he had like a 4 puck clutch in there. The PP was so strong that he had to grab the steering wheel with both hands just to press the pedal down. Plain and simple our cable clutches aren't meant for the extra force. I recommend converting to hydraulic somehow, as someone told me the force is significantly less on the pedal. Someone come in here and kick me if I'm wrong.
