Default B16 Trans - Clutch and Flywheel - Weird Vibration???

Whats up guys...I just put a b16 tranny with a fidanza flywheel and an exedy clutch into my integra with a b20 3 days ago. The first night I drove the car it felt good...The next day I replaced my pass. side axle because it was clicking. Since replacing it, I get a vibration under heavy acceleration - MOSTLY at low speeds but still happens when speed increases. I thought the Auto Parts store gave me a bad axle so I returned it, put another one in and still have the same problem. I don't think it's the wheel bearing because I checked the wheel for any slack. Could this be a bad differential? I'm stumped as I replaced my axles twice and the problem is still there.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Well, you said the vibration started after you replaced the axle, right? Have you checked and made sure that everything was on tight?

Yep...everything is on there tight. That's what I first checked out (crown, shock & LCA bolt, etc)

I wanna say its the wheel bearing but its hard to tell if it's still there when im not accelerating. Any other diagnoses?

i think i have the same problem, mine only vibrates from 30-40 mainly, i think its my hub or bearing from my driver side,

on mine with the car turned off if you move the steering wheel left to right really fast you can hear a light clunk like something is loose.

Mine as well. The usual way to tell if a wheel bearing is bad is to jack up the car and try and "wiggle" the wheel. If there is play in the wheel it usually means its the bearing. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong...

You're right, that's a quick way to check. Jack the front end up and wiggle the wheel from top to bottom......is there any noise coming from the front end when driving? Like a roaring type of noise or grinding?

No noise or grinding...mostly just vibrations u feel in the steering wheel. Sometimes you can feel it in the dash when your at higher rpm -

It's one of those annoying things - Hope to get it fixed tomorrow so I can go down to the track.
