I'm going to be helping a friend swap his std for a dx trans soon. He has a new clutch, new mounts and all that. But will his old axles work from the 4 speed. I searched and found very lil info. I've heard of having to swap axles or hubs but really do you have to? He's not going to be putting any uber power in to it its just a dd. Both trans are from a 1990.
Thanks

 

i just put the bigger hubbed axles and hubs from a si into my 4 speed

 

you should have no problems using the same axles.

 

So then we shouldnt need to change anything but pop out old trans, do the clutch stuff and pop in the new one fill her up and call it good? Where at in oregon you? I'm down in florence and used to live in gp/medford area.

 

correct.

im about half way between portland and salem. just made a trip out to newport today though.

 

Haha sweet. I love oregon.

 

The dx axles should fit. I have a four speed and I just replaced my axles with dx axles.

 

well the splines on the std model are smaller going into the hubs. i dont know about the tranny side though

 

Use the stock HF axles with the DX trany
-OR-
swap out hubs for DX.
Either way will work fine.

 

I had a 4sp and swapped to a 5sp. Used the same axels. You should have no problems.

 

Exactly... They should slide right into the tranny.

 

Sweet I thought so I just wanted to double check before going over there tomorrow and being stuck on the axles.
