Ok...... now here's the new deal.....

I'm using axels from a 88-91 civic/crx si and the fit in the tranny but not in mi knukkle. I have a 89 crx 89.......

The lenght is perfect on both side both one end of the axels is too big for the knukkle on my car.......

Need help...... anyone has a idea? because it's not working at all

 

well what motor do you have, b16 or a zc? if its a b16-use 90-93 integra axles.

 

oups..... ZC.... but the problem is not on the tranny....... it's on the knukkle

 

are you using the Halfshaft?

if your using the ZC tranny you need the halfshaft and 90-93 teg axles

If your using stock DX, SI tranny, no need for halfshaft and use Si, or DX axles.

 

...doesnt make sense....only the hf has smaller knuckles...

so one side fits, one doesnt?

 

I'm using a si tranny............ so i use the same axels but the don't fit in my knukkle.... they are too big........!!!

they do fit in the tranny but not in the knukkle!....... any idea why?

 

I know it dosn't make sense........ but.... it's hapenning and why does it haoenning to me!!!!!

 

are they your stock dx axles? or are they from somewhere else?

if they're not your stocks, try those...

 

I don't have them anymore....... ..........
but what i was thinking is this..... tell me if it make any sense

using the si axels that fit in the tranny and changing the end that doesn't fit in the knukkle by the stock one ( dx )

know........ one other thing.... is those two axels different dx and si...... if yes than it should work...... if not...... only god knows

 

no, dx and si axles are the same. where did you get the axles from?

 

from a scrap yard............

but my mecanic is sure than they are civic 88-91 axels......??????!?!??!?

 

It sounds like you have the wrong axle. Same thing happended to me. I bought both axles from Pep Boys and one of them was wrong.

 

u sure u have a DX and not a STD did u have a 5 speed or a 4 speed?

 

I have a 5 speed

And my crx is a Dx.....I don't know whjat STD means..... (standard)???
Tranny - Si

 

You sure they're going the right way? I was tired enough to do this by accident.

 

My knukkle are suppose to be stock.... what i measns is a never change them.....maybe i should thake a closser look on them?

At first i have try just for fun 90-93 integra axels.... and the axels was fitting in the knukkle....... is this info is valuable?

 

yes it was the right way

 

sounds like ur putting it in wrong then

 

is it possible that the axles you bought from the yard might be from a std civic or did you see them pull them from the car. i was just thinking that they just pulled a couple of axles from two dif. civics and one was a std. just a thought. and if you buy axles from a store they are usally remans and the raman. places do not spec the ends they just rebuild and ship out so that is why you get wrong ones sometimes cause people like me give back the wrong cores in the origanal box.

 

I will take a closer look..... tamks for your help.... are i will give you some update

 

I've found the problem....... they was nothing wrong with the knukkle or even the tranny....... the problem was the ******* at the scrap yard........... et tought 88-91 and 92-95 axels were the same............... DOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

Now i've tried with REAL 88-91 and it's working perfectlly!............So my rex should be working in a few jours !!!!!

 

nice

 

i wont even buy anything from a yard unless they let me pull it myself or i will point to the part i want. i hate it when they ask "what year is your car" so i try to just tell them excatly what part i want. glad to hear you got your car figured out.

 

why the hell are you using junk yard axles???? Dude go to RAxles.com and get your axles there. It is worth the money!!!! They give a discount for crx'rs from what Ive heard also they have tons of crx axles in stock.

 

i remember when i went to pick up a new set of axels for my 88 civic hatch, that they offered two dif. counts of splines or teeth on the end of the shaft. im thinking that that could be your problem. because if you have any extra splines it will not fit.
