Ok, Axle seal confusion... PLEASE HELP!!
Ok, so I have a hydro b series tranny and I have the EFB2 hasport kit and I have 90-93 tegs axles and I shaft. Now, i was told to change the axle seal to a 90-93 driver side axle seal, so i go to the Delray Acura online auto store to get the part number b/c I like to have part numbers when i call the acura dealership and this is the number i get:
91205-PL3-B01 OIL SEAL (40X56X8) 1 1990 INTEGRA
So I call up Acura, they don't have one so they do a local search and find one at a Honda nearby Honda dealership. I think "weird, what Honda would have this seal," so I got to the honda dealer give them the part number and gives me the axle seal with a hand written part number on it. The label also say 90 civic 5 sp. but it is the right part number written on it.
So I pick up my I shaft from Goforbroke (thanks!) and it seems to slip right over. Just a little snug, but not tight and not incredibly loose. So I assume everything seems ok, but I check when i get home online under http://www.slhondaparts.com and get this for a 90 civic:
91205-PL3-A01 OIL SEAL (35X56X8) (ARAI)
91205-PL3-B01 OIL SEAL (40X56X8) (ARAI)
Now I check acura parts again for the the current motor i have 97 integra and get this:
91205-PL3-A01 OIL SEAL (35X56X8) 1 1997 INTEGRA
I thought the I shaft had a larger diameter and NEEDED the larger opening or else you would leak oil? I"m a little confused b/c i searced on this webpage and got this thread https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1079342 which says to use the A01 seal. But I really don't think that is right.
Does anyone know the right answer? I tried measureing the inner diameter of the axle seal i have and it appeared to be 35mm or 1.5 in, but its labeled B01.
WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THE AXLE SEALS!?!?!? HELP!

Re: Ok, Axle seal confusion... PLEASE HELP!! (88 rex)
Ok, remeausered the one I have and it is ~40 mm.
So, I guess if anyone is doing this swap they can either call their acura dealer and ask for the 90-93 teg seal, or call honda and ask for a 90 civic 5 speed seal.
OR i guess you could pull your seal off if you have a 90 civic with a 5 sp. I haven't checked other years so who knows.
