to start off i just put in si 5speed into my std. and the drivers side axle has been giving me hell. i finally got it to go into the tranny and stay while i put on the axle nut. so i finsh putting my car together and check to make sure both axles are still tight in the tranny. then i go to start up my car, it starts i let it warm up then i turn it off get out and check for and possible problems. as soon ias i look underneath i notice a solid stream of trannny fluid pouring out. look up and the drivers side axle had popped out about an inch.


wtf is wrong, i cant afford to have this happen again, tranny fluid is not cheap

 

make sure that the clip is on the end on the axle. If it isnt there then there is a chance of it slipping out

 

you using the correct axle for the tranny?

 

yes its the right axle.


if the clip wasnt there how would it stay in at all? after i got it in i yanked on it good twice to see if it would come out, and it didnt, so i gave one good shove back in just to make sure.

 

i figured it out, my brother sold me the wrong axle. it fit in every where perfect but it was about 1 in. so short so when i started my car the vibrating made the axle pop out. kinda hard to explain it.

 

So you didnt have the right axle is what your saying.

Always double check the little things.

 

I just gotta ask What tranny fluid are you talking about. The Si tranny I have uses motor oil 2qt's. I hope you are not using 90wt.

 

whata knucklehead u r.. first u said u had the correct axel and now u say u didnt have the right axel. but as long as u notice it and ur cars good now thats all that matters

 

my brother bought these axles for me, he said they were for a 4th gen. so i believed him. and i kept asking him if there was something wrong and why this happend and he just kept calling me a moron and told me i should learn how to work on cars. so i forced him to look at it and the first thing he said was, wrong axle, its too short...


so to me, theres nothing i could have done to avoid this, other than buying the parts my self.

im so pissed, this problem has delayed my car by 2 weeks!!!!!

 

bout 2weeks ago my axel poped out from the tranny when i was on the highway and i went to speed up and i wasnt goin any faster, everytime i'd hit the gas padel my car would rev while it was in gear and was like oh sh*t wtf is goin on here. pulled over left my car on the highway over night cuz i thought i blew my tranny, got it towed next day to my house and looked at it and notice the axel had poped out but not all the way.

 

nah buddy it was the correct axel so yes it was the right part and trust me i work on hondas almost everyday so i know what im doin but anyways i dont care bout that car nomore cuz i wrecked it 2night in the snow

I read that, and all I have to say to that is



But also, to the original poster, save yourself some money and use 10w-40. Thats what the book recommends.

 

Glad you figured it out, I hate crap like that.

wow think you know so much. it was the wrong axle, i went and got the right one to day and its about 1-1 1/2 inches longer, which is waht i needed. and i dont trust you, i dont even trust my brother who was a honda mechanic and is now a nissan mechanic.

thats what im using, but for now its cheap **** untill im sure this is going to work.

but right now my car wont start, its acting like it doesnt have a battery in it. and it does, and its charged. it started but died becuase it was cold, and when i tryed to restart it i had no power.

 

I use a mix of 10w and Gm Synchromesh. My treanny shifts from first to yummy.

 

the book said something like 10w30, or 10w-40, and one of them was for if you were doing alot of highway driving or something. I dont have the book in front of me, but im sure both work just fine.
