Get the D16Y8 tranny. Should have a lot less miles on it since the Civic Si D16Z6 tranny could be from 1992-1995. Plus, the D16Y8 tranny has better (stronger) shift forks.

The trannys are almost exactly alike. Personally I would get the y8 because of the fact its newer, cleaner and possibly has lower miles
