Item 8.01.   Other Events.

     On July 9, 2004, Dana Corporation (Dana) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K that contained a press release announcing that it had signed a definitive agreement to sell its automotive aftermarket business to The Cypress Group for approximately $1.1 billion in cash. The release indicated that the transaction was subject to the purchaser’s receipt of financing from committed sources and other customary conditions, including the receipt of regulatory approvals, and was expected to close in the third quarter of 2004.

     Dana management now expects the sale of the automotive aftermarket business to be completed in October 2004, due to delays in purchaser’s receipt of financing and in the completion of overseas regulatory approvals.

     Further announcements regarding the sale will be made when appropriate.
