will a d16 tranny from a 92-95 fit on a 96-00 civic d16y8? which one would be better the 92-95 or 96-00 the 92-95 is 100$$ cheaper

 

yes it will its all the same

 

doesnt the y8 tranny have longer gears?

 

Get ex or si trans the gears are shorter

 

what the 92-95?????

 

u want a tranny thats from an ex/si and the d16y8's have the same gears, inthe ex. and a stocker shift for.. So look for those kinds yo.

 

yes any tranny from 92-00 will fit, as long as the motor is a d-series (d16, d15)
heres the main differences:

92-95
-P20/A000 is for DX/CX/VX
-P20/B000 is for EX/Si
Nonturbo, go for B000 for shorter gears
Turbo, go for A000 for longer gears and better traction.
-ALUMINUM SHIFT FORKS

96-00
-D16y8 (EX) has shortest gears
-No SI tranny because SI 99-00 is a b-series
-D16y7(DX,CX,LX), D16y5(HX) have longer gears
-STEEL SHIFT FORKS


If it was me, I would go with a d16y8 tranny, shortest gears and steel shift forks. unless you turbo.

i agree with ^. i have the d16z6 tranny on my y8 and have had nothing but problems with 3-4 shift fork breaking.

 

I have a question on the older 92-95 tranny's, the tranny codes where just a sticker. So how can you tell other wise what the tranny is if the sticker doesn't exist. Second question is that the 96+ newer, I heard have metal vin tags rivited to the tranny. Is this true?

 

There should be a penny size stamp near the axle hole to verify which tranny you have.

 

yea it wasnt that metal plate that you are thinking. there should be an ingraved number in the casing of the transmission that shows what kinda it is. should be by the VSS

 

d16z6 and d16y8's have the same gears.

y8 2nd is 0.47% shorter than z6 second.

del sol si and hatchback si d16z6 models use a 0.750 5th instead of 0.702 5th


alum forks break
steel forks bend

I prefer aluminum z6 forks, Mista Bone prefers z6 forks. There's a reason behind this.

all sensors are the same.

 

what tranny code is the y8???
