Axle Question

[Shaun Ryan]

On a 97 base model prelude does it matter what kind of tranny you have as far as automatic or manual when replacing the drivers side axle and half shaft. Thanks for any information.

At a glance, it appears like both AT and MT base models have the same part numbers…

Is that for the axle or both I know he got a half shaft for a manual but part store said the axle doesn’t matter if auto or manual. I know on my civic most stuff is tranny specific from what I have done to mine. Just want him to get the right part before we start working on it. He is still wet behind the ears with this stuff. Thanks again Ill let him know.

I believe they are the same but Preludes can be tricky. They came with several different drivetrain configurations and as a result there may be differences.

Let us know what you find out.

After doing some of my own research and looking up parts from both local part stores and from Honda and asking around a little more the axle is the same for both but there is a manual half shaft at lease that’s how it was wrote up in the description. This is all for a base model I believe the sh model is a little different at lease the rear should be with its 4 wheel steering. But over all think we figured this one up. Thanks agin for all the help guys always know I can get quick proper answers on here.
