to upgrade from a small v cable gearbox to big v hydraulic gearbox is possible. but the mess involved to do this is not neat. lotsa things has to be done on your firewall. if you car is a track car then thats a different story. it'll prolly take less than a week for this conversion and prepare for the misc cost on top of the gearbox price.

xxxx, i believe the hasport price will be more than the g/box itself.

j101, guess as much.... instead of fittin in the hydraulic pump, can i use juz the g/box n still b cable operated?? u reckon its possible?

reason y i m askin if bcoz my synchros r crunching while changing gears at hi revs.... darn it!!

thanks guys...

hi there....i posted a thread similar to this before...its messy as many ppl say...I dont think you can use a hydralic on cable lar.... different system i reckon

u might want to consider the hasport conversion kit if u plan to retain the cable system and getting the hydraulic gearbox alone. the kit may come with the mounts. do check on them.

For the hasport conversion kit,it's roughly around USD200-250 including freight...so it's a one time investment if you plan to use your car for sometime.

thanx guys 4 ur input...... i oso seeked other opinions n apparently its doable but need the whole works.....

this J1 (suprisingly very short ratios) g/box is damn prone 2 synchros crunching...... unlike the YS1 (b16a2 rite?)

j101, when u mentioned messy, issit of space constraint or the headache behind it?

honestly, i dun hav much of a choice coz the crunching sound is getting 2 my head n i believe the would b some power loss....

 

[J101]

the mess would be from the holes that has to be made. the mini mounts on the firewall for the pumps and etc. cable travel thru holes. pump requires a system to be placed from the clutch to the gearbox. just imagine that.

if you are willing to spend and prolly be the first...try hasports.

good luck.

I don't know if it could be done on your accord. And i thought the hasport kit was mainly meant for civic.. hmm.. i may be wrong.. need more search..

I have personally seen a cable converted hydralic on a CRX. I don't know how much work the guy went through but it is a strip and bare track car..

u can the whole gear box n system, but i dun think u can retain the cable with a hydraulic g/box unless u hav the hasport kit or something like tat.

that's why i suggested hasport kit earlier. haha.

chris, I actually called up some guys n most of us has the same prob.... swappin to a hydro type is the best option... long term wise of course.... 2 make matters worst is tt my kinda g/box is gettin harder 2 find.... at least wif the eg 1s i hav more swappin options.....

xxxx, dunno the hasport can fit my car in th 1st place.... its usually for the ef, bb or even the da..... like chris mentioned i m usin a very ol accord ler.....
