Default swapping a b series into ek. questions about axles.

I think I have DA axles, almost certain. The guy I bought em from was using it on a 95 civic coupe the a hydro b16 tranny. I now have the axles and wanting to swap into my ek with a hydro gsr tranny. Will they work? I tried searching and nothing came up. Thanks.

the 90-93 int. shaft will not work in the b16 hydro tranny.

well I did some research and test fitting of my own. Looks like the DA int/shaft will NOT fit the hydro GSR tranny. I just test fitted the int/shaft into the tranny, the shaft actually does go in without any binding or grinding. The shaft just sticks out a lil more than it should.....

BUT! I recall somebody stating that the tranny oil seal MUST be replaced if using DA axles. With that in mind, I removed the driver side axle seal and the int/shaft sliped right in no problems with the 3 bolts to hold it to the block nicely lined up. Now, heres the option I was thinking of:

1. Replace the driver side axle seal (only if replacing it will work, need some confirmation)

2. Or, knock that seal in the casing a little more because there is a lot more room behind it.

What do you guys think?

You need the DA axle seal and it will work fine.

Good news! I got the driverside axle seal and it works! Eveything fits perfect. Thanks guys.

And to whoever objects this fact (that the axles fit), do some research if you are uncertain of your answers.
