Default Hydraulic to cable tranny?

Does anyone know where I can find a conversion kit to fit a cable tranny into my car? It is currently a hydraulic transmission but I am looking into a fewmotors I like that are cable. ( A dohc ZC and a b16a gen 1) both pretty good deals and are local sales. Is it worth it to convert and who makes a good kit? Hasport?

im also curious...
im preaty sure i liked my old crx cable tranny instead of my hydrolic clutch on my civic now.

the hydrolic might be beter if i had a performance clutch but for stock style i think a cable one will have a beter feel to me......

ya I also like the feel of a cable clutch. My old 1990 323 has a cable clutch and I liked it (when it was still running)[:@]

ya just something about knowing EXACTLY where your clutch release/engagment point is...
maybe im just triping by the hydrolic pedal just doesnt feel accurate enough for me....
mine only moves like 1inch and it releases the clutch and im VERY used to pushing the pedal all the way down in traffic and the pedal feels exactly the same from top to bottom. ive been driving the car for 3-5months now and i still just cannt get used to that sweet spot. im always worried about grinding the gears so i always push the pedal all the way down

i dont beleive there is anything for the d-series transmission but there is one for the b-series cable conversion. i cant remember off hand who made it but its not worth it imo. cable transmissions are getting harder to find in decent working condition. considering the cable transmission that you would be using were only made for 4 years for d-series and only 3 years for b-series.
