ok i'm putting a b20b in my hatch 90
and the half shaft won't bolt up to the block
it's a 5 speed shaft

is it possiable that the block is from a awd crv
and if so would that make the pattern different
it's like the block bolt holes are at the wrong angle the bottom one make it impossiable to
bolt the upper two

 

I had the same exact problem with my b16 swap, The bottom bolt will go in but the top two are like a half inch away from the block on an angle? I bought the halfshaft used and was told it was from a manual but it turns out it was an auto one

 

well it's def. a 5 speed half shaft the guy pulled it right out of a 5 speed integrea 93
any other problems that could be the issue

 

What transmission are you using?

 

maybe the shaft is a auto shaft. or the block is auto

 

LMFAO... That has got to be the funniest crap I have ever heard. Automatic block??? BWAAHAHAHAHAHAA!!!!

Have you ever noticed from the factory when a manual transmission is on the motor (B-Series) there is a threaded bolt hole that goes unused? That is there for an automatic transmission to utilize... Also how retarded would it be to have a production run to have to make 2 different engines just for whatever type of transmission being used. Given having to manufacture both automatic and manual trans for the same car is not very effective cost wise anyways; but it is smart for marketing purposes. Ever noticed how fewer and fewer cars now-a-days can actually be had with manual transmissions?

BWAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHhahahahahahahah!!!!!!

 

i dont believe there are extra threaded holes for auto intermediate shafts on the block.. both shafts utilize 3 bolt holes. if you've ever tried to install an auto int. shaft when using a manual tranny you'll see it just about lines up with the bolt holes but its off by a little due to the shaft being longer than the 5spd version.

auto on top, manual on bottom.

 

^^^ Please re-read my post sir. I was talking about the transmission... not the intermediate shaft. If you don't know what I am talking about I would be more than happy to go and take a picture and post it up here. Either way the blocks are not different they are made for both automatic and manual transmission setups. Everything that bolts to the engines is what changes.
