I have a 95 civic ex and it's turboed on 8-10 psi of boost. A few days after completing the tuning and whatnot, I was driving the car and the axle popped out of the tranny on the passenger side. I didn't know why but I put it back in and went to drive the car again and BOOM it pops out again. I look at the axle and I put a new ring on it (thinking the other one was worn) and the car drove fine for two days and popped out again. Well, it popping out so much has chewed up the end of the axle so I bought a new one. I am putting the new one in but I needed some opinions...

Is the axle the problem or is it possible that the tranny is not holding the axle in place properly? Here are a few important things I thought I should list: the car is somewhere around 300-325 whp, using stock axles, it needs a front end alignment, the springs were cut so they car sits very low, it's a b18c1 engine and tranny. The only thing I can think is that a combination of the hoprsepower, cut springs messing with the angle the axle goes in and the fact that it needs a front end alignment is making it pop out. THe car didn't have this problem before but I didn't drive it much before either.

Comments, opinions and especially info from people who have had this problem are appreciated.

you are using the gsr inners right?

 

Yes, i am.

 

hey man we had the same problem on my buddys b20/vtec with a b16 tranny and it has nothing to do with the axles its the differential inside of the tranny thats bad. we changed his out for a type r lsd and it no longer has this problem its a typical thing with used honda transmissions and axles so change ur diff or have it rebuilt cause thats ur problem

 

Thanks alot. That helps but that's bad news, lol. I was hoping it would just be the axle issue and not the more expensive issue . Well, Thanks alot for that input.

 

yeah its actually pretty simple get ahold of omni power and spend the 30 dollars on there 200whp b16 build video and then spend 300 dollars on a type r lsd and watch the video and put the lsd in ur self its actually pretty simple if ur mechanically inclined we did it in like 4 hrs. stopping every step to watch the video so we didnt mess up its really well laid out so do that and itll save u a whole lot versus having a shop do it for u
