The question is a simple yes or no one today. But I'll explain a couple things.

I have a completely stock YS1 non-LSD cable trans right now.

I am looking to buy a LSD and upgrade the clutch to a CC stage 4 6puck.

I've been told that the cable trans will eventually pull through the firewall without reinforcement, so I have started to debate converting to a hydraulic transmission.

Right now I'm sitting at $700 (LSD) and $350 (clutch) on the transmission I have. (These are upgrade costs)

If I swap I am looking at $390 (Hush conversion), $120 (trans mount), plus the aforementioned costs and buying a new transmission (if it costs more than my YS1 sells for). I am not sure how my YS1 would compare (cost wise) to a hydro B-series trans in similar condition.

Basically it boils down to this:
Is it worth $500+ to convert to hydro?

I am still researching the idea of reinforcing the firewall to prevent pull through.

EDIT: Seems the pedal assembly itself is what breaks? Now I'm confused. Time to find pictures.

 

Yes. I am converting soon. Just because hydro trans have more parts.

 

Yes or no?... I'll just share my experience.

I have ran both with heavy duty pressure pates. I have used straight-up cable transmissions, and also used a hydraulic transmission with the Hasport cable to hydro billet adapter. I have also broken a couple of pedal assemblies on my EFs with both types of cable set-ups. I just welded them back up with reinforcements and all was well. I had good performance with my cable actuated clutches overall. The cables did stretch a little, but did not break in my cars and always remained useable and fully functional. If some people have some cable clutch nightmares they want to share then that might be useful for you, but besides braking the pedal assembly, I personally have none.

I now run the Hush22 kit and prefer the feel of the hydro clutches, but don't expect a reduction in pedal pressure necessarily (I experienced an increase in pedal pressure). I also had to weld in a pedal stop with my Hush22 kit, but I am thinking that might be because I use the Wilwood MC with mine... just guessing though. All in all I am happy with the kit, although it was a royal PITA to install since it did not fit without a little trimming of the sheet metal on my car near where the MC is mounted under the dash. The trimming was minimal, but it was 100+ degrees outside and it is like trying to work inside of a shoebox under that dash area. From what I understand they usually install with ZERO trimming needed, but with my car that was not the case. Oh yea, and use a vacuum to bleed the clutch fluid... it will make life much easer.

Hope that helps a little.

 

If that's the only story I get, I'll just reinforce my pedal, get a new cable, and stay cable.

I've never driven a hydro car before. But I was looking for a LSD trans and they are expensive!

 

Yup they are. Just get an aftermarket LSD and install it in the transmission you already have.

 

$700 from mfactory. Luckily I have a ys1 and not a y1. I'll be dripping the $1100 on an LSD and clutch before too long.
