6spd in a 4th gen, what axles?
Like the subject says... I searched and couldn't find the answer... I'm putting a 6spd (with lsd) into a 4th gen. I need to know what axles to use. 
Thx.
Thx.

Edit: Just noticed it's gonna have LSD. In that case i'd imagine the driver side axle must be an LSD axle.

Let us know how hard the conversion from rod-driven shift linkage to cable-driven is. My bro (who has my old car now) might swap back to a 3.5 next year and he wants to use the 6-speed.
BTW, is it possible to use the 5-speed maxima flywheel and clutch?

the paint fumes are getting to his head.

I don't know too much about the 4th gen and I'm not recomending anything. Just thought the info might be helpful.

easiest way to answer your question is by asking how many splines are there in the 4th gen hub and how many splines are there on the 6 speed axle. if the numbers match up then go for the 6 speed axle. hope that makes sense.
