Its relatively unclear which axles you should use for a zc tranny in a 4th gen and i've heard numerous horror stories of axles either shattering at the inner boot, or locking up at highway speeds.
I'd say try and find a good si tranny and reuse your axles. These can be pretty hard to find nowadays.

I'd rather not use a ZC transmsission... that's why I was asking if they're all the same... I didn't know if any would be like the US spec trannys.
I'm going to try to find a good used Si tranny... I may know where I can get a DX tranny cheap, and I'll use that if I have to while I have the Si tranny rebuilt... but I'd like to find an already rebuilt tranny.
Buyer beware... if you have an Si transmission, do not buy rebuilt axles from autozone or oriellys or any mass market parts provider.
Si axle drivers side inboard side is a larger diameter than other models axles, and the length the splines go into the transmission are shorter..... so your mass market parts provider are providing one size fits all axles, which don't fit too great... will fit a DX transmission just fine, but not so well on the Si... they will work, but you have to replace your drivers side axle seal with one for a DX transmission and it will just barely seal and probably leak slightly.
Looks like what had happend is the previous owner had replaced the drivers side axle with one of these, and that's why it was leaking so bad... the measurements on the Si axle seal measurements are 40x56x8 (inside diameter, outside diameter, width in mm's), the DX seals measure 35x56x8. 5mm's makes a big difference when it comes to keeping oil in.
