A hydraulic clutch uses the same type of system as hydraulic brakes use in that it is not a total mechanical connection of all parts but a line of fluids that when you press on the clutch pedal it pushes
hydraulic fluid in the master cylinder that pushes a fork that releases the clutch plate from the pressure plate disengaging the transmission to make shifts in the transmission.

It's a pita to fix is what it is, but seriously...
I have one on one of my vehicles, and the difference between this and a normal clutch is that on a normal clutch, the clutch pedal is attached to a cable (much like a throttle cable) which goes to the transmission... And, it is this cable which (dis)engages the clutch plates inside the transmission, such as when you step on the clutch pedal, it pulls on the cable, creating a tension.
On a hydraulic clutch, the pedal is attached to and actuates a cylinder which contains hydraulic fluid, and when your foot steps on the clutch is when the cylinder pumps this fluid through a steel line to the transmission at pressure, and it is the pressure which now (dis)engages the clutch plates inside the transmission.
