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 ----

 

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 ***** up, it wont be your fault.
