I've heard of some people swapping y8 tranny's onto their y7 blocks because of the shorter gear ratios. I was thinking about doing this, but I was lookin to get a little feedback from people who have it done and how much of a difference did they notice. Also, what is a decent price for a low mileage ex tranny. Thanks in advance for any replies.

Yup, it can be done, and it bolts right up! Great improvement and you could get one for around 250-300 dollars probobally. I would suggest it if your looking to improve your performance on the y7 (like I have done)

 

Thanks for the fast reply. I have one being offered to me for $250/shipped, its got 20k miles on it. I was thinking about picking it up.

 

is that with everythign?? Clutch, pressure plate, etc??

 

I doubt it would come with a clutch or PP...make surwe it has clutch fork and mounting bolts

 

No clutch or PP, just the tranny. Could you fill me in a little on the clutch fork and mounting bolts. Thanks,

its a good mod i've done this as well. u can just reuse your old clutch and hardware.

 

Y8 trannies have been known to drop a whole second off of 1/4 time on Y7's.

 

The tranny is off of a 2k EX and I'm swapping it onto a 2k LX, there shouldn't be any extra parts required, correct?

 

i did a 2000 y8 tranny on my 98 y7

i think its great....somone did research on tranny ratios and figure out that a ex tranny is still longer ratioed than an LS tranny.....

wish we could get b16 ratio or type r ratios......(without buying gears)

as far as install it bolted right up, i got all the hardware, but didnt need it....

all that was needed was the tranny....very easy changover

it takes a bit to get used to from the y7 tranny, since the final drive is different and so is the 2nd and 3rd..... so for a bit my first to 2nd shifts were alitle slow...

also i just built a tranny for a b series with ats gears and a 4.9 final drive...

6 grand at 60 on the freeway in fifth is not good for my car

 

How much did the ATS gears run?

 

I got a 92-95 Si tranny for my Y7, it made a big difference. I think that the going rate is 200-300. You will be happy you did it and whatever harware the Y8 tranny might be missing is interchangeable with the Y7.
