Re: difference between a cable trans and a hydro (slo_hatch)
well i wanted to know as to why and how a hydro would work
i was thinkin that maybe id go with the hydro but id like to know what are the benefits to having one
im looking at the b16a 2nd gen for the car, here's the link to it if you wanna give me your opinion

EDIT: sry if i ask a lot of questions but i need to know these things cuz im doing most of the mods myself and i need all the info i can get since the faq on here doesn't really cover it all that much

the hydro tranny is supposed to give smoother shifts and dont break as often as the cable (i have heard of the cables breaking sometimes). and it works like a hydraulic jack i would think. lol

Re: difference between a cable trans and a hydro ([713])
Basically what it comes down to is that '91 and earlier civics and '93 and earlier integras use a cable operated clutch. '92 and newer civics and '94 and newer integras use a hydraulic operated clutch. It makes far more sense to use the type of transmission the chassis was originally equipped with so you don't get into having to buy a mount kit and an adapter kit.
