Default Cable vs Hydro Tranny? What to choose....

i'm gonna build my set up soon.....but i want to know what you guys usually prefer? i hear good things about cable tranny's, there's a better feel to them, BUT they're becoming less in number....as opposed to hydraulic tranny's...there's an abundance of them everywhere and they are stronger, but you don't feel them as well as the cable tranny's....so i'm stuck in a dilemma...any help is appreciated.

thanks in advance and happy holidays

we ran the hydro tranny in Kenny T's civic. We started using straight cut gears from wayne at ctc motorsports and started breaking cases because the gears were stronger...(just moved the weak link to the case). Apearrently the cable tranny has stonger bracing around the front bearing where we were breaking. Wayne and Tony told me the stock gears are the same between the two. I'm not really a honda guy...but sounds to me like the cable tranny has a stronger case which is good if you go with a set of aftermarket gear sets. If you plan on making power, I think they're both weak, regardless the gears are the weak link...pick your lessor of two evils.....depends on your ap
