The pro's are: If you have a hydrolic tranny, and a hydrolic clutch, it works great.


The con's are: If you have a hydrolic tranny, and a cable clutch, it doesn't work.

88-91 Civic Get cable, 92+ get hydro

Not a matter of 'preference' its a matter of if it works or not.

With a hydro once your clutch is gone you must change it, With a cable via adjustment you can squeeze some more milage out of it. But as DIRTYSOL said deal with what you car came with, its not worth the effort to convert it. If you wanna pull more performance out of it, get a performance clutch and adjustments done.
