Default ZC trans or SI trans?

Alright my friends selling both of these trans, which would be the better trans? Also since this is going in a STD can I use my DX axles in this trans? I thought there was something different about the axles ut I can't remember exactly what it was...

I would go with a LSD ZC, but they are so hard to find. I think that guy on Ebay(guit guit)is going to have some soon.

Not sure about the axles. :P

I think I might go for the ZC and as for the LSD part, I already bought one. Did you know Lincoln Welders made LSD's? :P

With the zc tranny your going to need 90-93 teg axles and the Zc intermediate shaft, that's the only intermediate shaft that will work. If your putting the zc tranny on something other than the zc engine, you will probably have to tap two holes on the back of the block where the IS bolts up.

I think the zc is better overall though cause you get equal length shafts which reduce wheel hop and torque steer. I used to get alot of wheel hop with my si tranny.

ZC closer gears, lower final, equal length shafts

Si wider gears, higher final

Of course the ZC with the Si final is the king of all d series trannies, but i would choose the ZC over the Si anyday.

having had both the zc an si for some reason i still like the si tranny....but im sticking with the zc because theres a lot less torque steer.the thing i dont like about the zc is the short *** 5th gear. do a lsd zc/si hybrid
