I recently purchased an Avid Hydro To Cable conversion kit for my 93 civic coupe, my civic is hydrolic transmission stock, but I have a 92' LS b18 block with cable tranny, this is what was included in the package...http://www.mmrusa.com/avidconversions.htm scroll down to view, can anyone help me please? my AOL sn is teamkawy55 and email is teamkawasaki@yahoo.com

 

Why are you going to Cable Tranny? Hydro is much better.

Oh well if you must, didnt it come with instructions?

 

The motor came with the Cable tranny, I got a steal on it so I took it, and no they didnt include the damn directions, losers...can anyone help me with this?

 

So you don't know how to install it yet you're calling the other people losers? I don't get it...

 

Since you got such a steal on the motor I would go and buy a hydro tranny. Like previously stated why go hydro to cable? Send that conv. kit back.

I think he said that because they didnt send him instructions with the kit.

To original poster. why dont you just call the company you got it from and tell them to send you the instructions???

 

Im calling the people who sent the kit losers, because I payed 140.00 for a kit that they told me was simple to instal and the directions were included, the tranny is new just rebuilt, thats why I want it, I drove the car it was in and drives sweet. And I live upstate NY and have been looking for a hydro tranny and have had no luck, thats why as well...

 

well, it cant be too hard... take a pic of the parts it came with, and we will try to help obvioulsy u loose the slave cyl, and probably bolt up a cable with a mounting plate, and attach that to the pedal but thats about all i know lol

 

Thank you I appreciate that, I have the pic Im not sure how to post it though?

 

ill do my best to try to explain...
im guessing you relocate the slave cylinder to a location that will allow it to move a lever...when the lever is pushed down, it pulls your cable operated clutch lever up...just like a stock cable transmission works...
anyone else have input on this?

 

http://www.mmrusa.com/avidconversions.htm That is the link to the page I got the kit off of, if you scroll down halfway there is a picture of the exact parts I got, plus 4 bolts...

 

If you must keep it and go with Cable i suppose it would be the same but backwards of doing a hydro in a cable car originally.

From what i know that mount would bolt in on the back and that would hold it in place. Then you would just need to guide the cable line through to hook up to the tranny.

Sorry thats the best i could do without pics and such. That site doesnt have good pics either.

Try the Integra Forum for a guide to wire up the cable line.

 

i had that same avid kit....garbage....i talked with avid a few time cause even their instructions are really bad, if you must go hydro to cable i would go with the hasport kit, its the only one worth using

 

Thanks, do you have a link or place I could get that kit from...Did you end up using the Avid kit? and if so how did you instal it...thanks again

You guys are alot of help I appreciate everyones input even though Im not getting it done yet it is helping and showing me there is some cool people out there thanks guys

Your problem is dealing with Avid. They're a joke and all of their stuff are poor knockoffs of HCP mounts - no R&D and not fitment testing so nothing of their's fit. I know this for a fact but I won't start a huge ordeal about it. If their hydro-cable conversion is anything similar to the HCP one, I have all of the instructions and templates for it since I did the R&D on it and wrote it up (email me). It's really not that difficult to hook up but if the parts were not made correctly, then you're probably going to get a 'dead pedal' feel quite often.

 

I have more pics loading but I have a similar set up on my eg hatch
