Item 5.  Other Events

         Dana Corporation ("Dana") is filing this Current Report on Form 8-K to
publish 31 days of combined operating results of Dana and the former Echlin,
Inc. ("Echlin") to satisfy certain provisions of the Agreement and Plan of
Merger, amended and restated as of May 29, 1998, pursuant to which Echlin was
merged with and into a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dana on July 9, 1998. The
merger was accounted for as a pooling of interests.

         In the opinion of Dana's management, the unaudited results of
operations for the period August 1, 1998 to August 31, 1998 include all ordinary
and recurring adjustments necessary to fairly present such results.

                                Dana Corporation
                                 For the Period
                        August 1, 1998 to August 31, 1998

                                   (Unaudited)


            Net Sales                           $1,010.1

            Net Income                          $   40.8


         Net income for the period includes merger-related expenses of $6.4
million after tax.

         These operating results have been prepared and published only for
purposes of complying with pooling of interests accounting and contractual
requirements and are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for any interim period or for the year ended December 31, 1998.
