yes there are adaptors that you can buy. I believe that the kit includes the braket, and the tranny mount. (due to the tranny mount being different in sub 92 civics.) You should be able to find it quite easily.

But oh, last time I can remember, they were in the area of 200 or more dollars, so you have to wonder about the money your saving useing a cable could go out the door with the kit. For me personally, i found the price of the cable+conversion about the same as just buying a hydrolic one. So my advice is just to save up and get the hydro, unless that particular cable one has goodies like lsd and/or final drive. goodluck

I think HaSport makes a conversion kit as well. I could be wrong, just a thought.

yes, hasport offers a hydro-cable adapter. benefit of the hydro is that its not going to be more than 10years old like all the cable trannys out there. they seem to all have grinds and no one rebuilds them for one reason or another

Of course Hasport says you can use it. They want your money, by selling you the kit to do it...

Stay hydro, Honda went to it for a reason...

I am using the Hydro to cable conversion in my 92 Civic CX...I am using a S1 cable tranny with my LS/vtec...It comes with the tranny mount, new pin type thing for the slave cylinder....You keep all your old hydro **** but the slave cylinder just pushes the throw out bearing fork or whatever you want to call it..my reasoning behind going cable it they are cheaper and more plentiful for me to find....the both feel the same with this conversion and I beileve there is more choices to choose from with the cable trannies...
HASport kit BTW..
just my .02
