hey guys i got a quick question for u. im about to pick up an ls tranny out of a 94 rs integra (from what he says...) to put in my civic. now i know i need hydro and not cable, but r all s80's hydro (it is stamped on the tranny s80-XXXXX) <- im not sure how many numbers are after the s80. but im gettin it for 200 bucks with 88k which is really cheap. i just wanna make sure the dudes not lying to me and it really be cable.

come on.... anyone?

Just look at the transmission. There are pretty obvious differences between the two. Cable trannys have an arm outside the bell housing for the cable to attach to. Hydro trannys have a sqare hole where the release fork comes throught the bell housing. Bolt pattern for the top mount is also different.

Not to be a dick but just google it dude.

Here's what I found on the first hit...

B18XX (Hydro):
S80/Y80

This is probably the easiest b-series transmission to find because it's found in every non-VTEC 94-01 Integra. Most notably, this transmission is the longest of all b-series transmissions and has the weakest synchro's and weakest differential. The final drive is 4.266:1 and each of the gears is longer compared to its B16A counterparts. For boost, a lot of people like the gearing of this transmission, plus gas mileage is great and they're very cheap. Look to pay no more than 500 for a clean LS tranny because they're everywhere.

Here is a look at the Specs.

1st: 3.230
2nd: 1.90
3rd: 1.269
4th: 0.966
5th: 0.714
Reverse: 3.000
Final Drive: 4.266:1
