I realize that the D16Y8 will bolt right up to the trans. on my 88 Si. However, don't the ratios of the Si hamper performance? Also, what are the chances of me being able to trade the Y8 trans. for a fresh EF Si trans. at a salvage yard? My current trans. is really really beat.
Thanks. Peace.

no the si is a really short geared tranny so if you are staying n/a you should be happy. also hell yaeh they will trade you.

you will not find a Y8 tranny at a salvage yard, if u do, its mine!!! haha, j/p Get one from someone, salvage yards will rip u off!!!!

 

I have one for sale

 

why you want to do this!? the 88 Si tranny and the D16Y tranny have the same exact gear ratios..youll get no perfomance advantage out of it..only headaches trying to rig up some kind of hydro clutch set up for it..

 

D-man, the only ratios that the 88 and Y8 share are 1st (3.250) and FD (4.250).
The EF has the morw desireable 4th and 5th gear.

Also anyone gonna warn him that the 88 tranny is the bastard child on the input spline count?

 

make sure u get a 89-91 si tranny 88 tranny won't fit. diff number of teeth in the spindle...

 

Appreciate the helpful info. I was actually already planning on the 89-91 trans.
By the way, I already realize that the 88 sucks a fat one. The only thing I prefer is the reg. seatbelts.
Thanks again. Peace.
