about midway down this page you will see that the cable and hydro are what engages the clutch.

Hydraulics are longer lasting and more solid than a cable. Cables can stretch and lose efficiency over time.

S2000's have hydraulic

5th gens are cable if I remember correctly

5th gens are Hydro.

hey anyone know if you can put a hyro clutch trans on a engine uses a cable clutch? And i have a problem and i have a civic with hydro clutch and the engine i want to put in the car uses a cable clutch?

no, if the engines uses cable then you need cable and vice versa.

Wrong. You can just swap the tranny. The problem lies if you're trying to use the cable tranny in a hydro chassis. They make cable to hydro conversion kit's though. ( not recommended )

how am i wrong, thats exactly what i said,

if the engine is cable then you need a cable tranny, if the engine is hydro you need a hydro tranny, do you understand that B16EJ1
, i know your kinda slow.:flipa:

Maybe you read it wrong or something. He asked if he could use a hydro tranny on a cable tranny engine and you said no when the answer is yes.

You're a fuckin idiot. If you wan to put a 1st gen b16a in your 5th gen civic that uses a hydro tranny you can just use a hydro tranny on the cable engine you dumbshit.

Why do you even post when you don't fuckin know?

1st gen b16a use cable tranny u dumb shit, and you cant use a hydro tranny

You're a retard. I have friends who've done it. Ask anyone who has swapped a motor. It can and has been done. Like I've already said. The problem is using the cable tranny in a chassis made to use hydro. For that they make coversion kits. Just STFU and stop giving bad info.

gen civic that uses a hydro tranny you can just use a hydro tranny on the cable engine you dumbshit. Id really like you to do that, and let us know how long the swap lasts. :flipa:

So you stfu

Like I've said it's been done over and over. The swap is performed because of the fact that the hydro is better. I know this is all new to you but just sit and let the info soak in. It might take a while. Dumbass.

Why don't you explain how a better tranny and clutch effects the engine in a bad way. The flywheel is the same on an engine made for hyro or cable tranny. So what's the difference between the both except the clutch and tranny? YOU ARE WRONG. Just except it and stfu already.

your still going at it, ask any shop and theyll tell you the same thing, they wont recommand you getting a conversion kit.:flipa:

You still don't know what I'm saying. I have friends that are installers at shops. The conversion kit is for if you put a 1st gen b16a and cable tranny into your 5th gen(hydro) civic. If you take a 1st gen B16 longblock and use a hydro ys1 tranny then swap it in your 5th gen (hydro) civic, no conversion is needed. There will be no damage or problems caused because of the use of a hydro tranny on a cable longblock. Why would a better drivetrain, later used on the 2nd gen b16,
damage your longblock? Both the 1st gen and 2nd gen b16's are the same at the flywheel. So why don't you explain why. Shops would much rather swap the tranny's out because it is more reliable than doing the conversion kit to use the cable tranny in a chassis built to run hydro. You might want to read five times to make sure you understand.YOU LOSE DUMB SHIT!!!

no actually shops wouldnt wanna deal wikth conversion kits, its much easier just to swap the original tranny, instead of a conversion kit.

You idiot. You don't even know what a conversion kit is.
A conversion kit is used when using a cable tranny in a hydro tranny chassis.
Swapping a hydro tranny onto a cable tranny block to use in a hydro tranny chassis is not a conversion kit.

i never said thats what a conversion kit was, you really should go back to grade school.

So what do you mean by this? To swap the original cable tranny into a 5th gen you'd need a coversion kit. It's not possible to swap a cable tranny into a hydro chassis. Explain exactly what this statement means. Everything you have stated in this post is incorrect. By doing this you cause more problems. If you don't know what you're talking about don't reply like you do and lead people down the wrong path.

YOU CAN put a hydro tranny on an originally cable tranny engine. like i could put the b16a3 tranny on the b16a1. the only time you would need a conversion kit is if you were putting a cable tranny in a car that had a hydro tranny previously.

Thank you. I've been trying to explain that for the last page of this thread.

ahhhhhh so much going on! well I have a shit auto and want to convert it to stick but people tell me its not worth it but I really plan on fixing this car up so when I go for the swap im buying new tranny and everything.. guessing its gonna be hydro right?

oops I forgot my face :bloated:
