z6 or y8 tranny ?'s

Right now I using the dx tranny i my EG6 since I just got the car about 2 weeks ago not sure which tranny to go with. The z6 tranny or y8 tranny or if there is anything better for a daily driver and autoXing and looking for a new clutch. The car has a y7 in it now and boosted as soon as I can get the oilpressure sensor off! Dang nabbit! Though it'll be around 8-9psi so should I get a stage 2 or 3 clutch? Thanks

They y8 has steel shift forks. The z6 has cast aluminum, weaker, shift forks.

gearing about the same on those? y8 might may be the way being newer also and less mileage.

92-95 EX/Si has a 1.900 2nd gear
96-00 EX has a 1.909 2nd gear

Close enough not to matter.
