Default Axkes dont turn when cranked

My problem is that the axles dont turn at all when I manually turn the crankshaft.

Im running a S1 tranny I got from an Integra LS on my B18C1. The axles Im using came with my J1 trannym as did my int. shaft. When the J1 was on the engine, and in my car, there was never any problem. But now they dont turn when I turn the engine.

I searched and the only answer I found was check to make sure the axles didnt pop out, and both are in all the way as is the int. shaft.

Any thoughts anyone?

The tranny is from the junkyard, but I do ALOT of business there and im confident the tranny is in good working order.

Thanks for your help

Did you remove the dust cover before putting the axle throught the hub?

Its the same clutch as before, hasnt even been off the engine. And yes, the clutch is completely fine.

The shift linkage is hooked up and it goes into all gears no problem.
The hubs and axles themselves spin normaly when turned by hand

Everything except the transmission itself was on the car and working just fine a week ago with the J1 tranny.

I havent tried to drive it.

With the car in any gear, it does not turn the axles no matter how many times I crank it. It wouldnt matter if I drove it, if the axles were gonna turn they'd do it when I crank it manually ya know?

On the note of the clutch, Im not sure if I need a different year/model clutch to go with it?
I called CRXBart and he told me the newer/older B series engines/trannys have different input shafts and need different clutchs, im checking now to see if my clutch/pp/etc fit on my trannys input shaft....

thanks alot for your help

when you say crank it... do you mean crank it over with the starter? or with your hands? cause if you crank it over with the starter, you HAVE THE CLUTCH IN.... so... it wont spin.. is the clutch cable adjusted properly?

Try spinning the axles while the trans is in gear and see if you can spin them.
The engine spins a lot faster than the axles so they're not going to spin fast.

Yes the clutch cable was installed properly. If I couldnt do that properly Id have to kill myself.

I meant crank the crankshaft by the 19mm bolt on the pulley. I cranked it endlessly and it never turned the axles at all.

But I figured out my problem, the transmission had a bad differential.
