I do believe it is in fact an s40 I replaced my y7 tranny with a y8 a few years ago.


Excellent upgrade.

Which is the more durable one? The 92-95 Ex, or the 96-00 Ex tranny? I've heard one has a better fork or something?

Start a new thread instead of bumping old ones. The transmission subforum might be a good area to look.
