ok Im about to buy this manual transmission hes says its off a y8 which is what I need to do my conversion, now my question is are there any numbers on the tranny to tell if it is in fact a y8 tranny, and is there a difference between the y7 and y8 manual transmissions???
also is there a diffence between an auto and manual starter

this conversion is going to take place in the summer with 2 civics a 98 and 00, so I will be asking many more questions thanks

y7 and y8 trannies are different.
If my hood wasnt completely iced shut, Id go out and tell you the numbers to ID it.

Auto and Manual starters are different.

I know the gearing is a little different from the y7 y8...but a d series is a d series is a d series..they all fit..no matter what.

Well, they are different part #s (not that that matters all that much) and the majority of those that Ive seen on this topic say they are different.

It will bolt. I've swapped a Y7 tranny to a Y8 motor before and vice versa..... a proven fact is my current mini-me= Y8 tranny to a Y7 block. The gearing is the only difference. :cool:

The only difference pat is when you are dealing with cable to hydro.........BUT....I THINK that it'll work with any D block still.

yeah it'll bolt up. the #'s your looking for are S40 w/ B000 near the fill plug. A000 is the dx/lx.

thermal when you used the the auto d block, when you take off the tourqe converter are the 6 flywheel bolts there or you need to get them and what would be there on an auto
