I bought my '88 hatch with a ZC engine and trans already swapped in. I need to replace my pass side halfshaft, is it the same part as a Si?

 

well since the single cam zc is practically identical to the a6 than yes it is the same as far as if you have the dohc version if the person that had it before you stuck with the a6 si tranny than yeah its the same if it actually has the dohc zc tranny i cant help you there, and no i do not know how to tell if its the zc dohc tranny or not but im sure some one will chime in on this.....hopefully

 

WHICH ZC tranny?

do you have an intermediate shaft?

 

It all depends on the tranny, if you have the intermediate shaft than you need to use the 88-89 integra axles I believe. I'm little rusty on the details its been a few years since I did that swap but I'm sure someone can fill you in.

 

90-93 teg shafts or 1st gen B16 shafts for the trans with a half shaft. Fact.

 

If you are running a ZC transmission with Si axles, which means you are not be using the ZC half shaft, you will need to get axles seals that match the outside diameter (O.D.) and inside diameter (I.D.).

I have a ZC transmission with a LSD installed that accepts Si axles, so I could not use the ZC half shafts. The O.D. of the half shaft is larger than the Si axle.

To get the proper axles seals, use a digital caliper and measure the axle opening on the transmission case (which is the seal's O.D.) and measure the diameter of the Si axle (which is the seal's I.D.) take those measurements to a good parts store (NAPA in my area) and they should have a book that matches seal sizes to a part number. Just let them know that it is for a Honda.

 

thing is, i dont think you can use a (big axle) tranny that is normally meant for a intermediate shaft WITHOUT an intermediate shaft. the difference being the lack of a snap ring groove on the diff. since the int. shaft bolts right in.

 

I am using the 90-93 Integra axles on my DOHC ZC big axle trans. I think you just have to make sure that the dust sheild on the hub is removed.

 

Exactly.
