What is the difference between these two? Is the hydro really worth $500 bucks more?

 

yeahh plus cable doesn't work on eg or eks unless you buy/make a adapter kit.

I drove few EFs with cable, and IMO the clutch felt stale and like ****.

 

what car/year do you drive?

 

95 Civic. I'm trying to decide between the two. Gonna do a b16a swap.

 

better to go with a hydro tranny. if you was to go with the cable, you would still need to get the cable to hydro kit for another $200 or so.

 

hydro...just my $0.02

 

So you're saying if i swap a b16a in my car I NEED a hydro tranny?

Yes, unless you want to run a clutch cable and let your existing hydraulic clutch system sit there doing nothing

Not to mention, cable-clutch transmissions aren't as durable as the newer, beefier hydraulic-clutch transmissions - nor can you get any replacement parts here in the U.S. for a majority of cable-clutch transmissions . . .

Stop being cheap, do it right the first time, and spend the extra $500 to get a transmission that is more durable, can be rebuilt with parts ordered from your local Honda/Acura dealer, doesn't require any extra effort to install, and is pretty much guaranteed to come with an engine that is newer, has 10 more horsepower, and is already OBD-1.

Same.

 

It's not even about being cheap. It's about me waiting a couple more months to save up the extra 500 bucks, but I suppose I'll wait.

 

yeah first of all your car is hydro, second of all b16a2 comes with hydro tranny.

Third of all cable clutches suck.

 

Actually there is an ghetto way to make a cable work in a hydro car and it works perfectly fine but honestly in my opinion cable is the thing for me

 

Get hydro tranny because your civic is equip with hydro already!!
plus its easier, getting a cable tranny means you will have to convert your car to cable...which is what you dont want to do!!
