Over center spring with hydraulic clutch bearing?

I have a (light) spring to hold (barely) the pedal up. It's pushing the pedal down that is difficult. My problem is scar tissue from 2 hernia surgerys. I do not know of anyone close, that has my set up with a hydraulic clutch, that I can try and judge whether the hydraulic is any easier. Anyone else's judgement is just that, their judgement.
In the end, it will cost around $500. to find out. Oh, my other car is an automatic!
Thank you!
