Default Integra Half Shaft Intermediate

Is there any difference between the 90-93 and 94-up Integra Half Shaft Intermediate?
Or do I have to get the 90-93 shaft for my ls swap crx?

They are differant. They 94-up has a 'male' shaft where the driver's side axles meets. Which means you need the female version of the driver's side inner joint axle. Basically, you need to use the 94-up Integra axle w/ that intermediate shaft. Or if you can find an inner joint to swap. But w/ the 90-93 intermediate shaft you will need to use 89 Integra axles.
Careful, when buying intermediate shafts. It could be an automatic shaft. It's very hard to visually see the differance. There is NO way an an automatice intermediate shaft will bolt up. Been there and done that. Very frustrating.

94 n up also has females. i'm using it right now on my crx. if usinf a 90 integra half shaft you should be able to use the 90-93 axles. but with 94 n up you would have to use the 86-89 axle just on the driver side. it shakes a little bit when turning right though but all in all no problems. i think it would be best if you use the 90-93 integra half shaft with the same year axles. also 94 n up half shaft is a little longer.

As far as USDM and most JDM motors I have worked on, either replacing worn/broken axles or pulling entire assemblies and installing differant. 94-up Integra has the 'male' shaft Intermediate shaft. 99 Civic Si has the same shaft, as does, the rare, 94-95ish Del Sol VTEC DOHC. Even JDM engines that are OBD1-present are 'male' intermediate shafts.
The JDM B16A OBD 0 has the same, 90-93 intermediate shaft, from the Integras (female style).

The only reason I mentioned 89 Integra axles for the 'female' intermediate shaft is because of the chassis you are doing your swap into.
The reason why the 94+ Teg axles seem to bind and make noise during turning are because the shafts of the axles are longer than the 86-89 TEG axles. Not by much, perhaps 1/2". I have also see rubbing or noise problems due to the engine mounts used in this type of chassis. But I can go into that when I need to.
When doing swaps, there are correct axles to use. There have been enough swaps for this to be figured out. (I suppose this is why HAsport sells swap axles).
