Well basically there have been people saying different things. THis is what I heard.

Im going to need....NEW CLUTCH PEDAL assembly from a 92-95 civic

then im going to need to cut holes in my firewall for the master cylinder....Im confused...then I read up on HASPORT's web page and they show the mounts and the install and never mentioned anything about the MC.....Im confused...


What is it that you need to do to make this work.

I guess start off with everything you will need to buy Mounts...ETC

ok i see where the problem is.

1. conversion kits... STILL cable, but allows hydro transmissions.

these comes with instruction. hasport, innovative, and a fwe other companies make this.

2. ACTUAL Conversion. no cable required.
for this part you WILL have to fabricate. grab everything from an EG/DC from pedals, to just before the transmission.(all lines, brackets, clutch master).

there is no write up for the latter, but the hardest part would be putting in the clutch master. the lines could just be bent, or cut to fit.

Yeah I read that write up but its not clear on what to do or how to approach it....I think going with the innamotive mounts I guess will do the trick....Or I will have to sell my ITR trans and get a cable and save the headache.....

Right now innovative has the best designed piece.. Adjustment and feel is great.

The worst one on is from hasport,I don't know if they've re designed the piece yet or what,but I tried their billet piece when it 1st came out..Didnt like it at all

I dont have any pics..no additional parts needed,it just bolts to the tranny in front of the release arm,and you connect your original cable to it..

What it really does is convert the tranny to cable in a sense.

theres a whole bunch of info in this thread https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1716895

maybe this can give you a cheaper alternative too.

only thing's quite hard to do is how to mount the master cyl. under the dash.

so to my understanding innovates original conversion kit does not need new peddles or anything, just the arm.

im going to have to contact innovate and see if they will sell me the tranny mount without the rest of the mounts.

yeah, me too man.

apart from my lazy ***, i still need the tranny piece mount since i'm using Hasport's EFB1 kit so the hydro tranny case(J1) won't fit. that's another $175 on my list.
