Use what kind your car has. If it is older than a 92, for a Civic, it is cable. Newer, it is hydro.

Both are close enough to not matter, as far as "which is better", so use what your car came with.

Hydro trans. are stronger. the 92-93 cable trans. are actually hydro gears in a cable case.

I have a cable trans and well I wish i had a hydro, only becuase of the lack of cable trans synchros avaialable. Id say go with the hydro, 5 years ago id say stick with the cable becuase they were cheaper and available all over the place.

Hydro is stronger, but is too much of a pain in the *** to put in something with already setup for the cable. So stick with whatever the car had to begin with.
