Would it be worthwhile to swap a D16Y8 tranny onto my B7 block? Is it basically the same as the Z6 tranny? Both the Y8 tranny and the B7 tranny in my car are manual. Would it be an easy swap? Do I need to swap ECUs? Please let me know guys
but anyway here are the gear ratios
B7 - 3.250 1.761 1.172 0.909 0.702
Y8 3.250 1.909 1.250 0.909 0.702
the only real difference is in 2nd and 3rd and if you ask me its not actually worth the effort to swap. maybe if your B7 tranny grinds and you have a nicer Y8 tranny and you also need a clutch done then yeah id say go for it. but not just for a little shorter gearing cause that B7 aint gunna feel any faster.
i have a JDM D15b in my coupe and i have had a VX, DX, and EX tranny in it. the DX is what i have now and it wasnt super noticable going from an EX to a DX. and not worth finding a good EX to put in.
i got a little long winded there
