if you have the money, definately get the LSD hydro....you will have much better traction and putting your power down evenly on both front wheels. when i had my b18c in my coupe i didnt have the lsd in my tranny and everynow and then all of the power would just go to the right wheel when on the track.

LOL damn noobs. You arent even comparing different trannies. LSD is a Limited slip differential that goes inside a tranny. A Hydro is short for the 92-newer civic's and 94 and newer integra tranny's Basically means Hydraulic clutch tranny verses cable clutch tranny. Now a Hydro LSD tranny is the Setup I have now and It is a Hydraulic clutch with a LSD inside the hydro tranny. If you want to know the differences do a damn search.

hydro are found on the 92+ cars as for cable 91-. LSD is the limited slip differential which helps out alot for track and autoX.

LSD = Limited Slip Differential.

This is where both wheel get equal amount of power instead of just one wheel.

Hydraulic = A hydraulic actuated clutch. You have a Clutch Master Cylinder which, when pushed against, pushes the fork where the Slave Cylinder is located and actuates your clutch.

This is a transmission, not a Limited Slip unit. Older units (1991 or older) use a Cable Transmission. This is where a cable is used to actuate the clutch, not a hydraulic system. Everything 1992 or newer use the Hydraulic transmission.

If you have a transmission that comes in Limited Slip form (from factory), definitely get it. Overall performance increases from launching to cornering.
