Should i swap trannies
 

Well as some of you may know my car as been boosted for about a month. But i just ran into a new problem. My rear main seal on my motor is leaking oil onto my clutch and causing it to slip. So my tranny has to come out so i can fix this seal. My buddy has a y8 tranny that came out of a 00 ex with 20,000 miles. He said he will sell it to me for $200 should i switch the the EX tranny or keep the shitty DX?

id try and beat him down some on the price of that tranny, its a ------ d series tranny.

yeah the y8 tranny is better.

You will like the Y8 trans a lot better than the DX. $200's isnt a bad price if it only has 20,000 on it

offer him 150.

$200 is a great price on a Y8 tranny. Just buy it.

i just swapped a y8 tranny into my car friday. i had the dx tranny and it is a night and day differance. the gears are soooo long on the dx compared to the ex. i'm lovin it.
200 bucks isn't bad for that new of a tranny, i paid 75 for mine but it's out of a 95.

Yours would be a Z6 tranny if its out of a 95 ;)

yeah i know but it's the same ---- ;D

Re: Should i swap trannies
 

Ya i think im going to buy it. How hard would it be to replace the rear main and swap this tranny in? He told me he would charge me $150 to replace the seal and put the new tranny in. Or is it a pretty easy install??

if you have time and tools available, or simply want to learn, then do it yourself.. otherwise, id let him do it for 150. and if anything fucks up, it wont be your fault.
