hey im droppin a 1st gen b16a into my 93 dv civic and the tranny that came with the new motor is equipped with a cable clutch and my engine came stock with a hydraulic i am wondering if it is possible to convert the cable to hydraulic or visa versa whichever is easier if possible at all......any input would be appreciated thanks
Zach

 

i think u should have gotten the 2nd gen b16
u should have gotten a hydro tranny which came with the b16a2 id suggest getting the new tranny, or if u need to u can wire in a clutch cable but ur gonna need to get the adaptors to connect the cable to the pedal and just wire it in, probably be easiest to find a 88-91 crx, civic, or hatch and remove the pedal and cable assembly, and install it on ur car.

 

i woulda got the 2nd gen b16 but i got a hell of a good deal on the first gen so thats the rout i took i was thinking the same thing about the clutch deal converting it to a cable is it that hard of a job suz i can get the parts no problem i just need to know if its gonna be a bitch or if its gonna take fabbin up some parts but thanks for the input

 

shouldnt be that hard if u can get all the appropriate parts off of an earlier model with the cable tranny setup, just gonna have to drill the hole for the cable to go thru the firewall or route it the way the hydro is currently coming out, get the correct sized cable, get the mounting down by the clutch, id say check out our earlier models and make ur own setup, shouldnt be too hard.

 

thats the plan thanks alot man

 

alright so this is the deal im getting all the parts from the dealer and i just need to know exactly all the parts to get so i dont have to make a million runs back and fourth to the dealer so if you could tell me all the parts i need to do this thatd me great thanks

 

the clutch pedal meant for the cable tranny, (just has the little bracket to hold the cable end), on the front of the car in the engine bay there is a bracket that holds the other end of the cable, ill take a look at my car and post again a little later if i see nething else, there are things off the valve cover that hold the cable but i think its just mostly cosmetic to keep the cable out of the way of other stuff.
