If I were to bolt on a D16Y8 tranny to my D16Z6, is that all I really have to do? Or am I going to need to get a new clutch kit, and other things as well? I get a new tranny SOON, and figured I might as well upgrade a little if I can.

 

No, ALL D-Series clutches/flywheels are interchangeable. All D-Series transmissions are direct bolt-in with D-Series blocks.

But, since the transmission is out, you might want to change out a few things that wear and tear over time. Main seal and Input Shaft Bearing.

what he said

 

just a quick question while were on the subject, kind of n00b, but do you need any new linkage or anything?

 

no, u dont need a new linkage.

 

As stated above, DIRECT bolt-in. Change out the couple wear and tear pieces, fill her up with some Pennzoil/GM Synchromesh, off you go.
