Default hydraulic transmission

i have a d15b vtec and unknown 5 speed cable transmission in my hatch, would it be worth it to try to get a hydraulic transmission? i have heard the tranny on the d15bvtec is a lsd type, is this true? is it worth it to get it?

How are you going to make the hydro tranny work?

For what you'll pay for a hydro conversion, you could get a perfect si cable trans.

Why bother.

EDIT: I missed the part about the lsd. Do they swap into cable trans?

when i went motor shopping i saw several of the sites said that the hydro tranny that comes with the d15b has a lsd. i saw something on how to identify a d series cable transmission but i already have it up and running so until i take the trans down i wont be able to know ..does anyone know any other way to identify the transmission without taking it out? any comments would help. the trans shifts good but i want something with a little better gearing ie a lsd transmission he he

Who makes the kit for it? I know Hasport makes the kit for B-series but I have not yet read who and if they make one for D-series to add a Hydro tranny using a clutch cable.
