plain english, you need to get axles from an MX3 with a manual as the axles from an automatic wont work. Be sure to get both pieces for your passanger side, as it is a two piece axle, also known as the intermediate for the inner portion. There are also two different varriants on the MX3 manual inner passanger side axle. one has two mounting bolts, the other uses three be sure to check where yours mounts to the engine block to know which to purchase

FYI all engine blocks have three holes for the intermediate shaft bracket, so if you had a 2 hole bracket you would still be able to install a 3 hole bracket but you might have to chase the threads.

The 2 bolt doesn't fit right. One of the holes doesn't line up at all....

I put a 2 bolt shaft on my DE/Mx-6 trans. The top hole fit great, the belt side hole didn't line up at all, and I had to drill out a hole in the shaft so another bolt would fit. Its nice that the location has cast marks where its supposed to be.
