Default Hydro tranny any better then Cable

I want to know if I should buy a hydro tranny with a soon coming B20 or stick with the cable tranny. Time isnt a problem so i could swap out all the hydro parts.

Is it any better then the cable onein:

holding power
feel
reliability
maintenace

Etc


Thanks guys

IMO the cable is better for more then one reason, 1. Cheaper, 2. Easier to Find, 3. No damn Hydro lines.etc.

i like the feel of cable, kinda like no power steering, your more intuned to it, or something, i cant describe it, i just hate how my moms clutch feels on her 95 accord wagon compared to my crx...

you feel everything w/ cable, know if something wrongs etc. hydro is not as sensitive usually. cable weighs less, no hydro **** all over bay etc. cheaper.

I prefer cables on hondas. Some cars give enough feedback with hydros..but hondas don't.

The hydro tranny's are stronger, the shafts and sincros are almost twice the size of the cable style. The GSR are double and the type R's have triple sincros which lasts alot longer.
http://www.LHT Performance.com will be releasing it's hydro conversion within 30 days, it has been in use on one of our CRX's for over a year now and has worked great. It gives you the feel of a cable and the adjustment but you can use any B series hydro tranny. The traget price is $199 with bolts and hardware. You can E-mail me if interested.
Thanks, John@LHT.

The web site in the last post was incorrect.
The site is http://WWW.LHT PERFORMANCE.NET , The B20Vtec CRX has the Hydro Conversion , the pics give you an idea .

We will have the first ones ready in 2-3 weeks, we have 30 or so pre-sold. So if we have enough made once they are shipped, maybe sooner. I think we are making a run of 50 , That's why I can't confirm the exact price, We would like to retail it for under $200, and maybe less.
I will update on this site as I know more.
Thanks for the intrest, John@LHT.
