D16z6 into 92 dx, axles too short? (yea I searched)
My car is a 92 dx that had an automatic tranny with a D15b7 motor.
I swapped in a D16z6 (92 si motor) with manual tranny. The manual axles came with the swap (although manual and auto axles should be the same).
So the D16z6 and manual tranny is in now and I used the axles that came with the motor, but each axle is about 1" short.
So I compared to my original axles from my auto tranny and they are the same size, also short. I even have axles from another D16z6, and they are the exact same as the first ones i installed.
I'm sure everything is together right and the axles are pushed all the way into the tranny. I have never heard of this happening before... this should all be a direct swap right?
Am I missing anything, I don't need to swap the control arms or knuckles from a 92-95 si do I?

just checked hondaautomotiveparts.com and found out that the knuckles are exactly the same on the 1.5L auto dx and 1.6 manual si... now I'm really stumped

yeah, here are some pics I took:
Left axle pushed in completely:
I stretched it out so the threads came through the knucke and tightened the axle nut just to see...
and it reaches, but the boot is so stretched... that can't be good
same for the right side:
when I pulled the end thru the knuckle and tightened the nut:
