I got a b18b1 with a rebuilt jdm b16a transmission I need to get mounts for it and I was wondering how I would tell if it’s a hydraulic or cable clutch transmission

 

What does the release arm look like on the front of the transmission ???

 

It’s like a metal arm

 

Oh boy... BOTH types have a metal arm. The cable style has an arm that lays flat horizontally across the front of the transmission and has a "loop" in the end for the cable to attach. The hydro has a metal arm that comes out of the front of the transmission with the end facing the radiator. There is a semi-hemispherical place on the face of it that allows the indexing of the clutch master slave cylinder piston.

If this doesn't make sense to you, I suggest you Google some pictures of both transmission types to help identify your transmission. Use a '91 Integra and a '98 Integra as examples.

 

If he has a cable, wouldn’t their be no clutch fluid reservoir

 

If he had a cable it could also be an automatic :thinkingemoji:

 

If you two had seen some of the junk azz swaps that I have seen... you cannot rule ANYTHING out.

 

Thank you It’s a hydronic clutch
