pros, cons? what makes the y8 better (from what i hear)

chris_si98

the gearing

That's it. (its geared for better accel.)

I beleive there is no difference in terms of gearing, like there is from the DX to Si. However the Z6 has Aluminium shift forks wheras the Y8 has steel shift forks. The steel is stronger.

chris_si98

yeah thats what it was.

2nd gear was slighty different though. by like .008

basically the gearing is the same

P20/B000 d16z6 tranny
1st - 3.250
2nd - 1.900
3rd - 1.250
4th - 0.909
5th - 0.750
Reverse - 3.153
Final drive - 4.250


S40-K4F d16y8
1st - 3.250
2nd - 1.909
3rd - 1.250
4th - 0.909
5th - 0.702
Reverse - 3.153
Final drive - 4.250


The tranny from the d16y8 has all of the same ratios as the d16z6 only difference is 2nd gear and 5th gear from both trannies. On the d16z6 tranny 2nd gear ratio is 1.9 the d16y8 2nd gear ratio is 1.909. A shorter 2nd gear is nice and all but keep in mind your rpms will drop more on the 2-3 shift.

okay cool, its just i have two trannies with bad bearings in em at work, ones a z6 tranny, the other is a y8, i ordered all new bearings to rebuild me one but just didnt know which to choose. I was pretty sure i was gonna use the y8 cuz its newer but now knowing its a bit stronger due to the steel, ill use it for sure.
thanks everyone
