Default JDM B16A LSD Axel problem

Got a JDM B16a SWAP in a 91 crx and the tranny is a cable LSD tranny. The tranny is stamped LSD on top of it, not with black marker, but its etched in the casing of the tranny. Right now, im using 90 non abs teg axels and im having a problem. When you take off from a stop the wheel jumps and it feels almost like i have no motor mount its a bad shaking/rocking until you start rolling. Then, once your rolling you can still feel the problem under light light acceleration. I think I read somewhere that I might have to use an 89 teg passenger axel if the tranny is off a true SiR? any input? I've tried 3 new LS axels now with all the same results.

also check other moving parts in that area... hubs, wheel bearings, etc. I believe you are correct as far as it being the axles but you never know... gl

I had a prob like that b4 and it was a bad axle. You could check your intermediate shaft and make sure thats tight. just check everything in the front end basically.

the viberating isnt coming from the side with the half shalf.. Thats the drivers side. I've checked the hubs and made sure the dust rings were removed. Both sides are removed.. Will an 89 integra axel even fit? I know its not the axel. Both sides have new axels and the side thats viberating ( the passenger side ) i've replaced 3 times. Does anyone here have a factory LSD?

1st gen integra axle and 90-93 ls axle.
This is because your car is not an EF(jdm civic/crx- wider engine bay by 1" or so), therefore whatever axle combo will work on a jdm b16 crx will be 1" tighter in your USDM chassis.
And don't slam the front down either and get an alignment shortly after you get it all going.

i have an 89' crx dx with jdm b16a with cable lsd, i dont have the problem as you describe, but the only situation i feel the wheel jump, is when i make a high speed turn, example:35mph, 90 degree, left turn. i feel the wheel jump, jump, jump, like serveral times, i think the lsd was on/off at that moment.
