cable is operated by pulling a metal cable (like throttle cable)

hydro is operated by hydrolic pressure (like brake lines)

hydrolic is smoother, which is why newer cars have them now.

personally I like the feel of a cable tranny a little more.

assuming you have a crx (cause of your name), i'd just stick with the cable tranny setup. Converting over to hydro would be a lot of work, more $$, and the benefit (if any) is minimal.

Pop the hood and see if the clutch is being actuated by a cable or a hydraulic line. It's pretty easy to tell.
