If your doing it yourself, parts will cost about $400-500 or so. If your having a shop do it for you, double that. Looking at almost a grand. I just did it to my Y7, and it made ALL the difference in the world. Trust me, you'll love it once its 5spd. :thumbs up

it's the exact same thing, there is a difference between a Y7 and Y8 transmission but it's still a five speed

A Y7 motor w/a Y8 tranny will be just fine. The gearing in the Y8 is shorter, so you will be abit quicker compared to a Y7 tranny. As far as problems, what problems are you concerned with? I swapped mine 2 months ago, and Ive beaten the hell outta mine. The car and tranny is still running strong. :thumbup:
