REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Participants and Administrator of the
Echlin Incentive and Savings Investment Plan
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits with
fund information present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets
available for benefits of the Echlin Incentive and Savings Investment Plan (the
"Plan") at December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the changes in net assets available
for benefits for the two years ended December 31, 1998 in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Plan's management; our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our
audits of these statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.
Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of Assets Held
for Investment Purposes and Reportable Transactions are presented for the
purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic
financial statements but are supplementary information required by the
Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The fund information in the
statement of changes in net assets available for benefits is presented for
purposes of additional analysis rather than to present the changes in net assets
available for benefits of each fund. These supplemental schedules and fund
information are the responsibility of the Plan's management. The supplemental
schedules and fund information have been subjected to the auditing procedures
applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are
fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial
statements taken as a whole.

ECHLIN INCENTIVE AND SAVINGS INVESTMENT PLAN 8
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN
GENERAL
The Echlin Incentive and Savings Investment Plan (Plan) is a defined
contribution employee benefit plan that was established on March 1, 1984
to provide benefits for all eligible employees of the former Echlin Inc.
as identified in the Plan agreement. It is subject to the provisions of
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). The
following is a brief description of the Plan. Participants should refer
to the Plan agreement for more complete information.
The Plan is sponsored by Echlin Inc. (Echlin). During 1998, Echlin Inc.
was acquired by Dana Corporation (Dana).
ADMINISTRATION
The Plan is administered by the Employee Benefits Committee of Echlin.
On January 1, 1998, the Plan's trustee was changed from Putnam
Fiduciary Trust Company to The Chase Manhattan Bank (Trustee).
PARTICIPATION
Each employee who is in a covered class of employees within a
participating division, has attained age 21 and has met the service
requirements stipulated in the plan agreement is eligible to participate
in the Plan.
EMPLOYEE CONTRIBUTIONS
An employee may elect to have up to 20 percent of his or her eligible
compensation, as defined in the Plan agreement, up to the maximum
elective deferral amount as determined under Section 402(g) of the
Internal Revenue Code, contributed to his or her account. Contributions
for some participants may be further limited as a result of other
Internal Revenue Code requirements.
EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTIONS
Echlin contributes ten percent on the first six percent of the
employee's compensation contributed to the Plan. An additional
contribution, as defined in the Plan agreement, may be made depending on
Echlin's financial performance during the Plan year. Matching
contributions made by Echlin will be invested solely in common stock of
Dana.
VESTING
Participants are fully vested at all times in their contributions.
Before completing five years of service, participants become vested in
Echlin's matching contributions at the end of the third calendar year
after the contribution was made. Participants who have attained five
years of service are fully vested in Echlin's matching contributions.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN (CONTINUED)
NORMAL RETIREMENT, DISABILITY, TERMINATION OR DEATH
In accordance with the Plan provisions, participating employees who
retire upon attaining age sixty-five or become totally and permanently
disabled and whose accounts balance is greater than $5,000 are eligible
to receive the full value of their account in either a lump sum payment
or in an annuity payment. Retiring and disabled participants whose
account balance is less than $5,000 receive the full value of their
account in a lump sum payment.
Upon termination, the vested portion of the participant's account will be
payable in a lump sum if the account balance is less than $5,000.
Otherwise, the participant's account may remain in the Plan until the
participant attains the age of 65.
Upon a participant's death, the participant's account balance will be
paid to the beneficiary in one lump sum.
LOANS
The Trustee may extend loans to participants with the approval of the
Plan administrator. Participant loans shall not be made for less than
$1,000 or exceed the lesser of 50% of the participant's account balance
or $50,000 minus the highest amount of outstanding balance of loans to
the participant for the previous 12 month period. The loan term shall not
be longer than 60 months unless the loan is used to acquire a principal
residence. Interest shall be charged on the loan based on rates currently
being charged by financial institutions lending money under similar
circumstances.
As participant loans are repaid, the amounts are allocated to the
investment fund according to the participant's most recent election with
respect to current contributions.
INVESTMENT OPTIONS
The following investment options are available to Plan participants:
a. Dana Stock Fund - Funds are invested in common stock of Dana
Corporation.
b. Stable Value Fund - Funds are invested in a mutual fund which

PLAN TERMINATION
Although it has not expressed any intention to do so, Echlin has the
right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to
terminate the Plan subject to ERISA. In the event of Plan termination,
participants will become vested in their accounts.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
The financial statements of the Plan have been prepared on the accrual
basis of accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles.
EXPENSES OF THE PLAN
Generally, Echlin pays all expenses associated with the administration
of the Plan.
VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS
The Plan's investments in common stocks and mutual funds are stated at
quoted market value. Investments in guaranteed investment contracts are
stated at contract value, which approximates market value.
Net appreciation or depreciation includes realized gains and losses and
net unrealized appreciation and depreciation. Realized gains and losses
on investment transactions are recorded as the difference between
proceeds received and the fair market value at the beginning of the year
of the respective investments sold or cost if acquired during the year.
Net unrealized appreciation or depreciation in the fair market value of
investments is recorded as the change between the fair market value of
investments at the end of the year and the beginning of the year, or cost
if acquired during the year.
11
ECHLIN INCENTIVE AND SAVINGS INVESTMENT PLAN 11
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of net assets available for
benefits at the date of the financial statements and reported changes in
net assets available for benefits during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
3. INCOME TAX STATUS
The Internal Revenue Service has ruled that the Plan, as amended through
January 1, 1994, qualifies under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986 (IRC) and therefore the related plan trust is not subject to
tax under present tax laws. The Plan has been amended since receiving the
determination letter. However, the Plan's administrator believes that the
Plan is currently designed and being operated in compliance with the IRC.
4. PARTIES-IN-INTEREST
Investments in the Dana Stock Fund consist of 722,000 shares of Dana
Corporation common stock at December 31, 1998. Investments in the Echlin
Stock Fund consisted of 835,000 shares of Echlin Inc. common stock at
December 31, 1997. Shares of the Dana Stock Fund are purchased in the
open market at fair market value. Consequently, such transactions are
permitted under the provisions of the Plan and are exempt from
prohibition of party-in-interest transactions under the IRS code and
ERISA.
