ok, i just finished putting a b18a1 swap into my 90 base model hatch. i used an S1 tranny, 90 integra axles/half shaft (new/reman), and 91 4 door civic dx brakes. the passanger side axle will not turn manualy or by trying to push the car. i havent started the car and tried to drive it out of fear of messing up the transmission if the differential isnt messed up already...what would cause an axle not to turn, how would you fix it, and would trying to move the axle by driving the car hurt anything, thanks.

 

half shaft seized?

 

no, the half shaft and drivers side axle turn fine, the passanger side axle wont turn when its in neutral, you can push the car and it wont roll at all unless its in gear and you are engaging the clutch/accelorator

 

you take out the dust shild on the hub?

i dont really understand the ? you cant turn the pass axel at all right?

wrong bolts in tranny side mount. theyre prolly too long. happened to me with a desies. the bolt went right into the diff kind of.lol
check those bolts yoiu should be fine

 

man i really hope thats the problem...

heres the "symptoms": the passanger side axle WOULDNT turn as soon as we put it in the differential (even before the rotors/hubs went on). it WILL turn when its being driven with no noticable problems. it WONT turn when the car is in neutral and you are trying to push it.
