How can I tell if my tranny is cable or hydro?

 

if you got one of these on your tranny then it is hydro (hydro slave cylinder).

if it is in the car you should a clutch fluid reservoir (to the right of the brake master cylinder)


if you don't have these items then you have a cable tranny...

 

just pass by reading...still learning here.......what's the diff. between the two if I were to swap motor???any series... if you don't mind me to ask(op)

 

If you're car was originally a Hydro actuated clutch car, then you want to stick with a Hydro tranny. Same for the cable tranny. Although nowadays they do make conversion kits but not for every application.

 

talking to me???or OP??...then still don't know...what's the different in egines of cable and hydro tranny? or there is no diff. in engines??? in other words I'm trying to learn what a hydro tranny is and what a cable tranny is....sorry thanx....

 

There is no difference in engines. Just OBD, thats not related to your question though.

 

back when honda put the cable trans in the cars the gears are shorter for the b16 at least i got a 95 del sol vtec model and i just bought a cable trans with the converson on it i can send someone picks if they want but b16 cable is better for n/a cars cause the shortness and the gears but if u go turbo u want like a gsr hydro trans cause the gears are longer and u want that for the boost

 

okay I got it a bit like this much | | so hydro would be the better choice if i were to swap then...? Or don't really matter unless it depends on what you/ I decided to do to it boosted (turbo) or n/a (all motor)...right??? But question then what if two person bought say b16 one hydro and one cable and did n/a (all motor?) same everything/ modification etc. which would be faster or same? just woundering in case say the person I'm racing with has one of the two or is it just most hydro go turbo and cable go n/a?????thanx I'm learning...?

Basically, the cable b16 tranny has shorter gears, which means it will accelerate quicker but have a lower top speed
And FYI most (If not all) 92-up Civics are hydro

 

cable tranny= shorter gear but lower top speed
hydro= closer gears, higher top speeds no??????

don't know just want to learn more....but done for the night gotta work early tomorrow thanx guys
