Which cable tranny should I go with?
I have a 92 Integra GSR with a swapped b18C1.
I kept my original tranny from the b17 but its now out of commission. I wanted to ask the team on some advice. Im debating on buying another tranny from the 92 Integra LS, but I was wondering if I should buy my original tranny again. I read that I can play around with the gears ( swap some from different model trannys). but i dunoo
I eventually want to put a turbo in my car so I want to make a decision based on that. I do understand that they differ in short and long gear ratios. But could someone give some advice on what to choose ( or modify within my original tranny )
Thanks for the help guys ,
Hope to get some good answers

Go hydro, way more options B/D/H/K Series Cable to Hydraulic Conversion $250 I am extremely happy with my 4.4 ITR trans and am looking to upgrade to the 4.7 if I stay b series. Seriously good gear rations if you have the money get the 98+ ITR trans

Good news, i was able to get the ITR trans. Now I have one question. When replacing the tranny, am I gonna need to change the axles ? Also could I not just change the clutch master to one from a hydraulic model? ( instead of the conversion kit )

nope same drive shafts. There's a reason those conversion kits are made... its alot easier, if it was a simple as swapping a MC there would be no need for those kits read a bit you'll see what I mean.

Pedal assembly+fabricating ****+running hydro lines.
Its a nightmare.
My friend installed innovatives cable to hydro kit that utilizes a hydro master and slave. Hes running a stage 4 clutch on an f2b swap. Its stiff (as expected) but feels factory and smooth. Pteviously we used a hasport mechanical linkage setup that was so unruly that we nearly destroyed his pedal and cable. Could barely disengage the clutch without breaking our leg.
B_Swapped93 linked the one my friend has on his car.
I discovered a trick that made the pedal feel 100x better. Adjust the cable till you cant depress the slace cylinder by hand (which pushes fluid back into tge reservoir) then loosen it just a bit till you can manually push the slave cylinder in. You want it as tight as possible while still being able to cycle tge slave cylinder by hand.
This makes sure the cable is as tight as possible while still letting the clutch fluid circulate properly. Too tight and the pedal feels like trash since the pressure cant release properly.
