#237024 Hydro to cable conversion kits suck. Everyone i have used is an on/off switch. I know I wouldn't be happy with a Hydro to Cable converted tranny. I also have not once read a nice review of anyone online using one. I Personally would shop around longer for a Hydro tranny. Or optionally a EF or DA Shell to put the transmission into.

If you need the Gears from a Cable Transmission, you can swap the gears bewteen cable and hydro b Series trannys. Good friend of mine has the Internals of a jdm 98 Spec ITR Transmission in a Cable B16 Transmission, Including that sexy 4.785 Final Drive. Its very doable.

#237037 I really hate to hear that... :x I have a y1 lsd tranny with stage 4 clutchmaster clutch and a light weight flywheel that is already on my b series....

So lets look from a different angle, what can be done to just go straight cable?

That makes me feel better... I'm not finding any other option other than 1,)different tranny or 2,)conversion....

check this even tho i think it's reverse of what you want. u want hydro to cable , not cable to hydro... your best bet is give the designers themselves a call see what they can do fo you.. it's a tough one if you dont know where to get the needed parts..

If you will,ask him if he feels a difference with it....or if it feels like an on/off switch...

Also, the shell (97 civic) had a b16 in it, but the motor mounts came with the shell, will the tranny mount work with this hasport conversion (everything shown in the picture)? Because I have read a few different forums that say you have to order a "Special" tranny mount....
