Im going back to the shop i got the tranny from on saturday to find out which zc motor it actually came out and look for myself whether or not its black/brown top.

If it does turn out to be black top will a clutch for a d16a6 work?

IHEARTMYHONDA91

ok so i found out the tranny actually did come from a black top zc...

i have the zc half shaft, i went ahead and purchased a exedy clutch kit and fidanza flywheel for a cable d16, is this going to work?

and if so then will '90-'93 da integra axles work with the black top zc tranny?

still havent gotten my straight answer i was looking for!

IHEARTMYHONDA91

ok so i found some new info on d-series.org

this came outta the zc forum

it says that its best to run two '88-'91 civic/crx dx/si right hand axles with '90-'93 integra inner joints

does that sound right to anyone?

so far ive heard custom axles, '90-'93 integra axles, and now two civic/crx dx/si right hand axles w/ '90-'93 integra inner joints!

someone please clear this up for me! i need help fast before i spend money on axles that dont work!

crx(gator)

if you read, everyone on here but one person said get the 90-93 non-abs teg axles...

IHEARTMYHONDA91

you know what i did read! if YOU read then maybe you would get what im saying 3 different people told me three different things then on D-SERIES.ORG it said something completely dfferent from those three....

I've just done a 91 Dohc ZC with LSD ZC transmission swap, my swap came with the ZC Intermediated shalf, You will have to use the 90-93 Integra NON ABS axles.

The 90-93 Integra axles will work the best with the ZC intermediated shalf provided.

There's one last thing you need to do in order to make the 90-93 Integra axle to spin. If you skip this step, I can promise you that your front wheels will NOT SPIN at all. There's one ring that needs to be taken off of each axle near the HUB SIDE, both axles will give you two rings, they're dust rings if it matters to you or not to know. And on the HUB itself, on each side, you need to remove the ring on that also, it's the most outter one before the HUB BEARINGS.

Pictures is provided below, if this is not done, I don't care how your axles fits perfectly, the front tires won't spin. I'd had to figure that out and finally found why it wasn't spinning!

thank you

Good thread man! How did your ZC install turn out?

I'm in a similar situation. For one I'm not sure what clutch kit I can use for my ZC tranny. I have a 88 si clutch kit and would like to use that but not sure if it will fit. Do I just count the splines on the input shaft and if it's 21 it will fit? If so would the flywheel off my 88 si tranny fit as well on the this ZC tranny?

I've already found out that I will need to purchase 90-93 Integra NON ABS axles that will install with my ZC intermediated shaft.

Can anyone please give me advice? Thanks in advance!

if you have the clutch and trans just try to put the clutch disc on there and see if it fits! If it does not then you need to get the 90-91 civic clutch.

That's what I was going to try this afternoon. So is the 90-91 Civic clutch the only other option for the clutch type I need?

Another quick question would a 90-91 civic dx trans fit a ZC engine? My buddy had a spare one.

IHEARTMYHONDA91

ok its been awhile since i posted on this thread....

i purchased the '90-'93 non abs integra axles and there are no "dust rings" like the picture above. could i have purchased the wrong axles?

also i bolted up my tranny to the block and the half shaft does not line up with any holes to be bolted to the block!

has anyone else encountered this?!

someone please!

I'm at the same stage as "Iheartmyfonda", I'm just waiting for my 90-93 axles to come in. Anyway, I was wondering how these "intermediate shafts" are supposed to fit with the Integra axles? Is one of the axles short and fits into the "Intermediate zc shaft" to make one complete axle?

thanks...

IHEARTMYHONDA91

wow! im getting irritated with this whole swap! im just about to sell the zc tranny and get a dx tranny lol!

anyone know for sure if thats the right half shaft? will that even work?

IHEARTMYHONDA91

the half shaft i have fits into the tranny i got....

if that matters

I'm in a similar situation man don't worry just be patient and keep trying you'll get it! My buddy and I are about 98% done with the ZC transmission install. I had the 90-93 Integra axles in along with the ZC intermediate shaft. The right one fit fine, just have to remove that ring around the outside boot like "XplicitzOldSkoolDA" exlpained in that diagram.

I happened to look at the ZCspeed site and they recommended using a '85' Accord SE-I axle for the right side because it's a half an inch longer than the Integra axle and it will keep it from possibly falling out upon a hard right turn. I think they ment the "left" (drivers side) because my buddy (a mechanic) noticed that the drivers side axle's boot was a little stretched after we installed it. So we concluded that a axle that's a half an inch longer would fit better and thus not stretch the boot like the 90-93 Integra axle was doing. So I ordered a after market 1985 Accord SE-I drivers side axle which will be in tomorrow. This should complete my installation and I should be good to go from here.

I thought installing a ZC tranny into a already installed ZC engine would be a breeze but I was WRONG! I had to change the clutch kit since I was using my 1988 ACT clutch kit and also had to use axles from 2 different Honda vehicles! A lot of work and some frustration but I think it will be worth it in the long run and I'm excited to see how different the longer gears the ZC transmission has and performs compared to the 1988 Si tranny that finally died on me with about 300,000 miles!

Good luck bro and keep us updated with your progress and questions....

What engine are you running? My D15B2 block has no holes for the mid-shaft like my D16A6 does. Are there even 3 holes under the filter for the shaft to bolt up to?

ive got a d15b vtec that im bolting the tranny to...

there are no holes at all to bolt the half shaft to.

If you have a set of stock ef axles...

All you need to do is source 2 pass side inner joints from a DA integ axles and swap them to your 2 stock ef axles. Thats it, and you have 2 brand new joints

I did this a good 8-9? years ago, and i didn't have to run down and find a shaft and then somehow attach it to the back of the sohc block.

Either build custom axles, or you swap the differential and pinion gears with the ones in your stock transmission, and make future axle purchases a ton easier.

You can also drop the Si pinion gears in to get a bit more acceleration out of it.

I have 90-93 teg axels too and the only problem ive ever had was a normal dont do thing like making a u-turn and turning the wheel all the way to the left and floorin it i destroyed the axel but besides that no prob. wat so ever

IHEARTMYHONDA91

im not worried about the axles.... im talkin bout the half shaft. do i have the wrong one or what?
