Maybe try Lokar Performance, I know they make custom throttle and hood release cables, I don't see why the couldn't make a clutch cable.

And yes, a 91-93 Integra one will work also.

I remember reading about how someone also broke their clutch cable, and I think it was with a hydro/cable conv. too. And like everyone else suggested I think he replaced it with a 90-93 Teg clutch cable.

Ahhh, you're the one that I was thinking about then. I didn't see the link you posted above before. I think I remember you saying that the OEM cable was better then that aftermarket one that broke on you.

Kinda OT, but does this clutch cable breakage, only happen to those few people with the Hasport hydro-cable kit? or can this happen to for the guys with cable trannies? Is it the added strain of having to operate a hydro tranny that breaks the cable, or is it because the cable isn't long enough? (or something...)

I am not sure if the one I broke was OEM or not, it just didn't look like it was since the part that broke was made of plastic. I am pretty sure it also happens on regular cable trannies, especially with unsprung clutch disks, sooner or later. Although I did have an ACT 4 puck before when I first got my B16, it was already in when I got it so that might have helped the cable break.
