Axle question
I have a 95 CX Hatch with a B18B1 motor, recently the diff on the LS tranny went so i bought a 94 GSR tranny.
I got the tranny and everything fit fine except the passenger side axle, it is too short. Im using 98 Integra LS axle from the car i got the b18b1 from.
As far as i know i thought that all integra axle are the same except ITR 36mm axle?
Has anyone run into this problem? do i need a GSR passenger side axle?
Did some search and GSR and LS axle are the same part number, why wont it fit -.-

Re: Axle question
No, they are not different lengths. Problem with axles is that over time, the bearings/grease doesn't work as well with normal wear&tear. The inner cv joint can also retract/extend like the outer, but if the inner joint doesn't extend far enough, then it may seem like the axle is too short.
I had this happen on both my axles, ended up getting a reman'd axle, looked at them side by side, and look the same, but the new one fit fine.
I opened up an old axle I didn't need anymore and found the grease was thicker than the new grease that came with the rebuild kits.

Re: Axle question
Here are some pics showing the problem
With the lower balljoint in the LCA, the axle is way too short.
If i have the axle sit flush with the hub, it would be impossible to get the lower balljoint into the LCA
Edit: Picture are taken with axle fully seated in the tranny
