is it a good idea to use a d16z6 tranny on a d16y8 block? does it fit? and is it any good?

It will fit and work well. Is there some reason you are doing this? The S40 (original Y8 transmission) has steel shift forks where the S20 (Z6 type) tranny has aluminum shift forks which are prone to breakage. Gear ratios are very similar. So, if you swapping just to swap - don't. If you need a tranny and can only get your hands on the Z6 it'll work just fine.

just wondering thats all.. i do know that the shifter fork are dif. only reason im asking is because im worried my Y8 tranny is messed up, hopefully its just my clutch... and if i have to replace i can only seem to find a z6 thats why..
