Cool, I thought if dan didn’t know you wouldn’t have known either. Anyway maybe you can shed some light and explain the differences? TIA

By older do you mean the 90-91 gears, or what? I mean, they are all old in my mind.
if it’s 91 or older, any tranny for a b series motor has internals that are interchangable. I would NOT reccomend replacing y1 parts with s1 or j1 parts out of a 91 or older ls tranny- your gear raios will go to $hit and you will hate life. It’s not worth it, but it is do-able.

The main differences from what I understand is the main and counter shafts in the 88-91 trannys are smaller in diameter than the shafts in the 92+ trannys. That is why the gear sets dont work out between those two types of trannys.
The differentials are also different between them. From what I understand on that is the speedo gear on the 88-91 trannys is actually part of the diff as to where the speedo gear on the 92+ trannys can be pulled off and swapped around.
I have been inside of a few 92+ trannys but I have yet to crack open a 88-91 tranny for anything so what I know about the internals of them is all from word of mouth and research that I have done.
That should pretty much answer everyones questions thus far. If any of you have something else that you would like to know just ask and hopefully I will be able to answer your questions for you.

from what my mechanic said when he cracked open my Y1 and inspected the synchros and diff, the diff is about 10-15% smaller than a 92+
for whatever that’s worth
