hydro is better, more expensive but better. you also have more gearing options as
most of the better performance geared b series trannies are hydro.

but as for clutch feel i'd have to say the cable tranny is better cuz you can actually
feel the clutch engagement through the cable very well, and thats what i like about it. cable trannies are harder to drive than hydro trannies though.

Re: hydro vs. cable (hondaxsimike)
I like the hydro better. I've had both in my sol. When installing a cable tranny in the hydro cars you loose the front torque dampener on the tranny. This gives the engine/tranny assy. more sway and is also harder on the other mounts. It makes the car jerky on hard take offs and shifts. The two positive things that a cable tranny has is the price and the stiffer clutch feel.
If you get the 92-93 cable tranny they have the same internals as the hydro trannys, just a different clutch actuator. The 92-93 gsr cable tranny has a very close gear ratio, comparable to that of a SI or newer GSR hydro tranny. I don't have the exact ratio on hand but I believe it's closer to that of the SI.
