89 Accord LX-i axle interchanges

[BigDaddyJC]

I need help quick. Need to know if the front drive axles from an 89 Auto tranny will fit the 89 5 speed manual trannys. Both are in 89 model Accords. Both are Hatchbacks. My 5 speed axles are both toasted and I have a set of good ones in a parts car but they are auto tranny axles.
Need to know if they will interchange?:wtf:

you can use only the passensger side.
driver side axels are diff.

Hey, thanks for the response, man, this site is great !!! I also just found the same answer under the General categories after I did a little digging.
Apparently only the passenger side axles will interchange. Driver side axle on the 5 speeds are longer than the automatic tranny axles.

I am looking at replacing both my axles this coming weekend and both front rotors, and the gas tank and fuel pump in my newly aquired 89 LX-i 5 speed Hatch. Now it looks like I only need to buy one axle instead of two since I have two more 89 Hatches with auto trannys as parts cars.
