Hey guys, I recently had my drivers side ball joint let go on me, and when it let go the axle pulled out and tore the boot, also lost 2 of the 3 bearings from inside the boot. Anyway's I need a new axle.

So here's my question, I found a used one for a good price from a 95 Accord EXR, but the 95 Accord is an automatic, and my 97 Accord is standard, will that make a difference?

 

auto and manual axles are NOT the same even on same make/models. both axles will be different lengths + intermediate shaft

 

ok, thanks for the reply!

 

Well according to this post that may not be true?

I did notice when looking online for one that it never asks you for manual or automatic transmission...are you 100% sure they aren't going to be the same?

 

I've never had to specify manual or auto either when getting axles so possibly..but I'm not sure if their the same or not

 

Ya, the only thing throwing me off is the EXR is V6 compared to my 4 cylinder, don't know much about the V6's or what's in them for tranny's, just know the car's are identical looking (not like that matters) ahah

 

My assumption is that the axle out of a V6 is not going to fit a 4 cylinder

 

Driver side axle is different for the auto and manual because of the intermediate shaft. Passenger side is the same. 4 cyllinder and 6 cyllinder axles are different.

 

Alright, I figured that much, thanks for the help

 

Didn't realize you were talking about trying a v6 axle cuz that won't work

 

Ya, sorry about that, should have been more specific, didn't really expect that it'd work, but just wanted to check

 

I believe the passenger side axle will be the same for Manual and Auto, but V6's will be different. As for the driverside, it'll be different due to the intermediate shaft that the 5spd have.
