First a little background info:


I got a 90 CRX given to me: bare shell, stripped, poor body work, wiring hacked, and just generally a mess.


I purchased a 91 Integra LS wrecked in the rear with a b18a1. only problem was that it was an auto. wanting to convert to manual, i purchased a trans on ebay, long story short had a hole in the case. had a shop weld it up and had a transmission guy go through the tranny, everything looked good.


I am attempting to use the fronts suspension/axles/brakes etc. off of the integra. I read that you have to use a halfshaft that matches the transmission. not thinking the ebay listing for my trans could be incorrect, I purchased a b18 M/T half shaft. i say this because i was told when trying to use a b16 halfshaft with a b18 transmission there are some lining up issues.


While putting in the transmission, we had a difficult time getting the left side motor mount to line up. but finally after some adjusting, got everything to bolt up.


I just finished cleaning up and painting all the Teg suspension, and got it all installed.

went to install the half shaft, and it slides in without a problem, but where the plate on the end goes to bolt up, nothing lines up. in fact i cant even get the bracket to sit flush against the engine.





since then i have purchased 2 more half shafts to make sure it wasnt a b16/b18 issue, (one b16 and one b18) and neither of them work either

any help or ideas?

 

Is the transmission bolted up straight and all the way to the block? All cable B-series half-shafts should bolt up no problem. In fact, cable or hydro half-shafts should bolt up no problem. Are you sure the half-shaft is all the way in the transmission? If everything is lined up and square, the half-shaft should work.
