I have a for the most part stock 89 Accord LX-i that is currently snapping axles. I went to turn left one day and the left axle snaped. I replaced it with a used axle and it snaped again. Thinking it may have been an axle from an automatic I bought a reman and It still snaped. When I take off with the new axle in it almost hops under load, and when i let off the gas it rides smoth. About 20 feet later I press the gass again and it snaps. I am thinking this is prolly my spider gear in the diff just torn up, but am not TOO familiar with honda tranny's and wanted to get a 2nd opinion?

 

guys on 3geez have had this problem... most of them had bad motor mounts... check those out...

and i see that you say you're on your 4th motor... what about trannies?

 

funny enough its the original tranny. an as far as the engines go, i had the first 2 supercharged. but the rods snapped on those two. and i put a stock motor in next but it had a spun bearing from the get go. so needless to say i have had bad luck with motors.....but not the one i am building right now.

 

join over at 3geez and post some pics, man... those guys would eat that stuff up

 

motor and trans mounts although you must be getting into the throttle a little hard to be snaping them so easily when turning

Hell, post that here, too, b/c I would eat that stuff up...

 

well, since i know you're boosting, you may have a problem with the stock axles being too weak... you ever get that car on a dyno? i've heard of axles snapping on these cars at about 200WHP
