Hey guys, I'm fairly new here and had a few questions. After searching for a few days I still cant find what I'm looking for. The problem I'm having is this: I bought a 92 gsr cable tranny for my b18a1 swap into my 88 civic hb. The original dx cluster has a cable speedo. The new b-series tranny has a hydro speedo. How can I convert this to hydro? As far as I can tell this speedo would run off the rack and pinion, which I dont have. The dx has no power steering and I would like to keep it that way. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
Cameron

 

C'mon noone knows what I'm talking about???

 

well as far as I knew the 92 gsr was cable too. But i may be wrong.. myself how to convert I dont know. Find somone else running the same tranny.. or maybe swap the cluster out and re pin

 

Hydro speed cable? What world do you live on?

It's either you have a hydro clutched tranny or a cable tranny, or you have a cable speedo or an electric speedo.

Hmm...pick one of the two as your problem. Poor description equals bad replys.

 

When I get to where the car is I will post a pic. If you look on ebay they have a 92 ls tranny that has the same kind of speedo on it as mine. I was thinking about getting a ls cluster and wiring it up but I would have no clue as where to start. I have no clue what kinda speedo this is. Never seen one before. It does have 3 lines coming off the top of it for the rack and pinion to connect to. Thus is why I need help.

Thanks

Wow...thats all I can say, the B series vss has 3 ports 1 going straight up for the speedo cable and then 2 sticking out at an angle...those 2 are for the power steering fluid to flow through and lubricate it...there is no suck things as a hydro vss...wow just plug your cable into the top and there is a slit for the clip, unless there is a plug for an electronic vss you have a cable one, good luck i'm suprised you gt the motor in if you though you have a hydro vss

 

Oh yea since my rex dosen't have power steering i just looped the hose from the 2 ports and poured in some fluid to keep it lubricated

 

Ok, I will look at it closer when I get home. Thanks for the help guys.

 

Everything fits fine. I prob should have looked a bit closer. Oh well. A lesson well learned. Thanks for all the help guys.
