whats the difference between the two clutches... is one better or is just cause the hydraulic one is easier to use? any performance differences?

 

its actually two diff types of trannys. cable was the old way for the tranny to shift gears [like 0bd-0] while hydro uses fluid to engage/disengage the TOB in the tranny

 

Clutch wise there the same. There is NO differece between them.

Hydro: Uses a hydrolic cylinder to push the clutch in and out.

Cable: Usses cables instead.

I think the only real difference is the Hydro is easier to push in when you upgrade your clutch to a higher performance one over stock because of the slight power assist. (SLIGHT)

Cable is just a little more effort.

Now on the tranny itself.
Cable: Uses i belive 2 cables to shift the internal gears. Shifter is bolted to the floorboard and dosent stick out the botem of your car. No performance gains in my opinion just the old way of doing things. i belive they went away from this setup because of cables breaking fraying seizing, ext and messing up the transmissions if you were a dumb ***.

Newer ones: i dont know what the technical term is but theres basicly two pipes connecting the shifter to the tranny. One is just to keep the spacing absolute (the engine can and will shift while driving) and the other shifts the car in respect to the shifter. The shifter is bolted to a plate on the spacer tube mounted thro the floor board. with the linkage connected to the shifter when the engine moves the whole plate would move with the engine as needed to keep the distance exact.

Cable trannys dident need that obviously. i really dont see any befits over one or the other.

 

thanks... you can just bolt on a hydro tranny to a B-series motor that came with a cable tranny... right? or am i totally wrong.. lol idk help me out

yes you can. all b-series transmisions are interchangable on all b-series motors. b20 tranny wont work in a front wheel drive car though.

 

wow thanks, i think i have learned more on honda-tech in a week than i have in school my whole life... lol

 

it will work but if your car has cable trans right now you need to change it to hydro if you want a hydro trans
