Re: difference cable or hydro
make sure whatever it is ,that its a b16 tranny if going with a b16 block, b16s are some shit if there stock, its like d series with an extra cam, get some that will keep up. get atleast a gsr or something with power like b20, b20vtec, ls, ls vtec, gsr, poor man typer, type r, h22...
To the OP if this is a dd car a GSR trans maybe what you want for gas mileage. This due to its longer ratios. Now if you want to get all the fun out of the car then go b16 or itr and change the final drive to a 4.7 or a 4.9. That makes a huge difference.

Re: difference cable or hydro
it is only refered to as a "hydro" tranny to shorten the actual meaning that has little to do with the tranny.
The "hydro" part is the hydraulic clutch release. same with the "cable" clutch release.
the hydro uses compressed hydraulic fluid to move a slave clyinder to move the clutch release fork and release the clutch(think brake system)
the cable simply uses a cable from the clutch pedal to the clutch release fork.

Re: difference cable or hydro
Cable trans are usually earlier models and are often cheaper. That's the only advantage. But, you have a car which is already set up for a hydraulic throwout, so you'd have to buy a conversion kit if you wanted to use a (cheaper) cable trans, which would negate any cost savings. There really isn't anything else to say about that topic, it's that black-and-white.
