2 types of S4C ?? EK4 - Driveaxle help
Hi people.
Iīm new in here and I donīt write very well in english, but i need some help.
My car is a Honda Civic 1.6 VTI (EK4 Ferio) here in Europe. It has a B16A2 engine and a S4C gearbox (S4C-1032765). Itīs a 1999 unit, fully stock.
The right transmission has a problem. There is a gap/looseness at the gearbox side.
So, in the past week I bought a new right driveshaft / drive axle on Ebay.
I search and I bought (~90€) from Sorea/Eai brand with the reference T98141A - theoretically fits in EJ9, Ek3, Ek4.
On the other brands, I saw that the specifications are the same. Lenght 618 mm, 25 teeth-gearbox side and 26 teeth-wheel side.
When the new shaft arrived at home I realized that they are not the same. There are many differences.
I put in gearbox, and didnīt fit. The new shaft/inner joint is more thin than the older one(OEM).
The older has 27 teeth, not 25. The lenght is not the same too (old one with ~650mm), even the fitment in gearbox side is not the same. It was leaking valvulin.
It was in place just for 2 minutes.
Look at these photos.

Next week I will send back to the seller this drive axle.
But in many sites and catalogues I see the same specs as this one. Why does this happen? Are there two types of S4C? 1996-1998 and 1999-2000?
However I saw this:
https://www.ebay.ca/itm/INNER-JOINT-...H/121828562390
27 teeth and fits in Civic EK# 1996-2000.
Is the only inner joint with the same number of teeth. But I have to measure the rest in order to check if my oem inner joint has the same measures.
As I saw online, in Honda, that inner joint is a small fortune >300€. On the other hand, I think that is not a good idea to buy one in used condition.
Where can I buy, in Europe, a new drive shaft that is the same as the original, without being in Honda?
Has anyone had this same issue?
Sorry for this bad english.
Thank you.
