Default Problem with 89 civ hatch with b18a (whining noise, tranny,axles,bearing)???

89 Civ hatch with full 0bd0 b18a swap new remanned axles for 90 integra.
6 puck sprung cluch specialties clutch fully poly suspension.

I recently noticed a whining noise coming from the passenger side footwell area or rear right tranny area. It happens at around 40-50 mph, when i let off the gas u can hear the noise back off for a second and then whine down and go away as the sped drops. Will be putting it on a lift tonight but wanted to see if anybody had same problem.
Maybe wheel bearing,maybe i need the raxles axles?

I'd say it's the transmission. Unlikely the axles can make a whining sound, or I'd better say I'VE never heard axles 'whine'. It's probably a) the transmission (knowledge is limited on that subject so I have no idea what SPECIFICALLY the cause would be) or b) wheel bearing. Check the wheel bearing out, if it's good then you're already half way done getting the first axle out to get to the tranny

Do u have lsd? Cuz when i did my b16 swap with lsd i put in the honda transmission fluid and it made a wierd noise. So i put in GM syncroflex transmission fluid and it fixed it.
But if u dont have lsd then yeah check the wheel bearing.

No lsd hopefully its the 16-17 year old wheel bearing.
Thanks guys u think the improper axle length has anything to do with it?
