later on down the road when I finally do an LS swap in my hatch I was wondering would it be better to get a cable to hydro conversion or get a cable tranny from an integra and just use that. I'm just wondering if there is a benefit to using one over the other. Any help would be great.

thank

i hate the hydro conversions...they are a pain in the ass and have some flaws...
i would just use a cable trans..they are cheaper than hydro by far

I like the feel of a cable transmission, but I guess that is just preference. The gearing offered in the hydros would be the reason the convert. Aswell as if you go with a EK9 CTR transmission it is dual syncro. I'm pretty sure that is the only B series tranny that had it. Someone may want to correct me.

i too like the feel of the cable tranny..you are in control of the clutch not the fluid being in control

Bobby17772 · 09-27-2009, 01:05 PM

thanks, I was pretty sure I was going to go with cable but I just wanted a few other opinions

INJEN78 · 09-27-2009, 02:19 PM

and cable is good because you have the same ooptions for gearing as you do in hydro..theres the b16 trans,the b17(gsr) and the regular ls

Bobby17772 · 09-27-2009, 02:22 PM

I herd that the gsr has the shortest gears and ls has the longest, is that true?

INJEN78 · 09-27-2009, 02:27 PM

i think its the b16 then gsr then ls...going from short to long

Bobby17772 · 09-27-2009, 02:29 PM

I think the gsr would be better, but hey whatever is easier to find and cheaper lol

INJEN78 · 09-27-2009, 02:45 PM

lol there are a ton of ls trannies..i got mine for $125..they go for usually $175-200

I have a '98 Spec ITR tranny, and the hasport cable to hydro conversion. STAY AWAY from it. Its garbage. I'll be converting my car to full hydro this winter.
