whats the different between d16z6 tranny and d16y8 tranny....is it the gear ratio???

 

some guy in my home town swears that his d16y8 tranny has a stock l.s.d. Could this be true?

 

he is right....he's full of poop....maybe aftermarket, KAZZ, or Quaife, but not factory, gearing is identical.

 

different between d16z6 tranny and d16y8 tranny....is it the gear ratio???

 

i believe the y8 is a shade beefier, same ratio, just a tad stronger

 

okay thanks bro...

The biggest difference I can think of is the z6 has aluminum shift forks instead of steel. I think the y8 shift a little better for this reason.

-PHiZ

 

as others have said, z6 and y8 are the same. only diff is y8 has steel shifter forks instead of aluminum, so y8 is a little sturdier.

 

Z6 2nd gear = 1.900
Y8 2nd gear = 1.909

that is NOT a typo!

Are you sure?

 

I split down a Y8 case just to be sure. I figured it was a typo in the factory service manual.
