I have a regular L3 (same as CRX HF & Si) gearbox on my D engine.
Can I fit the ZC half-shaft in this transmission? I know it will use diferent axles, but will the half shaft bolt to the regular l3 transmission case, or are the ZC L3 cases diferent?

 

no, you would need the ZC differential first...

 

Can't quite understand you. Why?? Isn't the diferential inside the case?? What's the diference? Is the spline size on the half shaft bigger than the regular shafts spline size on the the transmission size?

 

yes, the differential is inside the case...

yes, spline size in the ZC transmission differential is 2mm larger in diameter than the rest of the L3 transmissions

Thanks jlicrx i must get that then.

Once diferential is changed, will the half shaft fit? Does the regular L3 transmission case has the holes for the half-shaft support?

 

that would be the engine that the shaft bolts up to...and it depends on your engine...

Thank you crxgator. I'll see if I can find some bolt holes in that area on my engine block.

 

looks like this:

 

Nice pictures. Seems like you went down this road already.
