Auto to Cable Operated hydro Trans

[koshiii15]

I'm gathering parts for my lx sedan that is currently an auto. I will be purchasing the hasport efdhc conversion kit soon. I already have the gauge cluster, clutch cable, correct ecu, and trans ground cable from a car at a local yard (same lx with factory 5 spd) I still need the pedal assembly and shifter and shift linkage and I will be buying a obd-1 z6 hydro tranny around next check too.
My main concern is the mounts, on the superstreet online write up for the crx and civic the article states the kit only comes with the trans mount and that's all you need for a factory 5 spd to hydro 5 spd. Is there any difference for an auto? Or will I need to grab the mounts off the lx at the yard or is the hasport efdhc kit all I need?
Trying to preserve money and labor as much as possible. I might just buy all new mounts but if I don't have to yet that would be a lot better on the wallet.
Thanks, Kev

Why not save some money and skip the hydraulic conversion, keep the Lx transmission, saving a chunk of change.
The ratios between the Lx and 92-95 Si transmissions are relatively close, final drive being the only real difference.

Because I have an auto and swapping in a cable tranny isn't a cost effective idea in my head although a hydro tranny seems better from a durability standpoint and I don't even have the lx 5 spd trans jn position because it's trashed at the yard and once again mine is an auto. This is an operation in motion, it seems like every forum I go to each person has to say do this instead or save your money. Does anyone ever have straight forward answers for people with straight forward questions? Someone out there?

I understand you're doing an auto to manual swap, but KISS, Keep It Simple Stupid!
Retaining the cable trans, you're saving money.
They're less expensive, you don't have to buy the conversion kit, and cost vs benefit, you're not gaining much of anything by going hydraulic.
Who claims the hydraulic is more durable?

Well I was trying to help since you did mention this....

But good luck on your "build".

Dude. I can't get a cable trans locally that's in good shape and any that are online are near the same price as a z6 tranny. Thanks for your input but I'm looking for an answer not input. Time for a new forum
