I'm about to swap on a y8 tranny onto a y7 block. I was looking at the y7 tranny, its hydro correct? I'm assuming the y8 is a hydro tranny as well then. Is it a direct bolt on? Will the y7 pressure plate and disk mate with the y8? As well as the flywheel?

I'm assuming the mounts are the same as well. Anything else I should know before I take on this tedious task? Thanks

 

Everything is interchangeable, just make sure you got 2qt's of oil and maybe a new shift linkage pin if desired, and if theres nothing wrong with the clutch/ flywheel theres really no reason to remove them

 

so your saying a y7 clutch assembly and flywheel will work with the y8?

Thanks for the responce.

 

oh yeah, and are they hydro??

 

Yes, EVERY D-Series transmission since 1992 has been hydraulic.

Yes, your clutch/flywheel is interchangeable with the D16Y8 transmission.

Yes, it's a DIRECT bolt-on.

Pick up 2 quarts of Pennzoil/GM Synchromesh and you're good to go.
