i have a 95 gsr and my passanger axel will "pop" out when i smash out(take it to redline whatever. it has happend to me 5 times this past month but only when i smash out.... i have a chipped ecu that pops vtec at 6k and if i just cruise around and pop vtec it is fine but as soon as i take it to 8k no more than 30 secons later the axel will pop out.

WHAT THE HELL IS CAUSING THIS?

THANKS YA"LL

 

How low is your car?
Is the axle for your car because you can use any b-series axle and a few are different lengths. You can tell what one you have by the colored bands on it.

 

Same thing happened to me. Only after I pass 50mph. Its the axle ring. Take your axle out and check to see if u the ring around the teeth of the axle.

 

I had the same problem,it ended up being the C clip on the end of the axle.

 

Check your ring... it's definitely the problem.

 

its a brand new axel... the ring is in there in brand new as well. i thought it was my ring so i pulled it out but it was in there but still pops out!lol do i need a bigger ring?

 

your diff is probbly cracked , and your axle was probbly shot after the first time it did it because it chewed the splines off the end of the axle , after you put it back in see if you can wiggle it around alot

 

Just get a new axle. I had a new axle that kept popping out also after a week. I got another 1 and it worked fine after that.

i just put another new axel in about a week or so ago. and the new one doesnt wiggle at all. i think is the shitty autozone axels. but i have warranty so ima swap in a new one prolly tomorrow and i will let u guys know what happens. Is there any way to make the clip bigger(bend it) so its in the trans more secure?

 

Just swap the axles. I also have shitty autozone axles.

 

i just popped my axel back in lol but i did notice that i could move around the axel alot when it was in the trans. so what would that be? thats not normal right?

 

Do you have Napa Auto parts there? If so, get there NEW axles. They're the best NEW axles you can buy from a store. And the price is great too.

Make sure when you pop the axle in, make sure you can't pull it out. Try a few times really hard and get underneath to see if there is no gap in between the axle and the trans.

If it still pop's out after you put a new one in again, then its your differential. It's probably messed up and cracked like already stated. But you could just not be locking the axle in place. It may seem like its in, but maybe not.

 

An easy way to tell is compare how many threads are screwed on the 32mm nut on both sides. It should be about even.

 

The length of the axle is determined by where the small CV boot clamps are tightened around the axle shaft. If you were to cut one of those bands off, you could adjust the length and then install a new band.

My brother's del Sol had one inner CV boot stretched out pretty far when it was installed, but he never had any problems with it. An over-stretched CV boot will not cause the axle to pull out, but it could tear easier.

 

i can move around the axel alot when it was in the trans. so what would that be? thats not normal right? there is alot of play and i looked at my ther integra and it will not move at all when it in the trans(passanger side). so what the hell is wrong with the trans?

 

sounds like it's the wrong axle for the differential.

 

thats kinda what im thinkin now too. i tell the guy i need a vtec axel so maybe my trans is just a ls and it needs a non vtec axel. well on the way to autozone to get a non vtec axel ill keep you posted.

 

now i'm curious. the other day i had my drive axle pop out from not being seated all the way. luckily i was only a quarter mile from home and had an easy walk. now there is a minor oil leak and the axles wiggles more than it use to. the end splines on the other side of the c clip are mangled but not the main spines. does that last 1/8th of an inch of spline help stabilize the axle?

 

Vtec and non-Vtec axles should fit the exact same.

 

ya autozone had the same part numrer for all b series axels...
and i dunno if the last 1/8 in matters i have brand new axels in yet again and it still wiggles around alot.

 

it's your diff. if you keep wanting to think it's the axle, then get OEM from honda, but your diff is most likely the problem

 

OP. im having the same problem as you. when i drive around normal the axel is fine but once i hit that 9k 9.5 area its a rap it pops out. :/ did u ever fix the problem? if u did what was it.

 

none its still poping out....
ima just have to pull the motor i think and take a look at the trans...
ill keep you posted and prolly take pics if its all ****ed up inside.

 

I agree. If the splines on your differential are chewed up from your axel popping out a few too many times while driving then your probably looking at a differential replacement or tranny replacement which ever comes cheaper.

 

sounds like when it popped off it damaged the axle inlet oil seal. on my old civic this same seal went out. i thought my motor was leaking oil but it was the tranny. i must have ran it dry too long and screwed the tranny. get that leak fixed asap.
