I need one for my H22-Civic project.

I went out to the junk yards and looked around, but I could NOT find an Accord with an intermediate shaft. The Accords I looked at were all automatics. Did the intermediate shaft only come with the Accords that have a manual transaxle?

If you have some time, please go out and check your Accord's DRIVER SIDE axle-shaft to see if it has an intermediate shaft.

Thanks!

 

MT accord have em dude.

 

Id go check, but i have no clue what your talkin about... yes im stupid

 

ok uhm stupid question (i have an auto)

what the heck is an intermediate shaft and what does it do?

all i know is it has something to do with axles...

sorry thats my stupid question of the month

 

Try an Integra too.

 

Basically on the MT cars they have a ... well.. an intermediate shaft between the drivers side CV axel and the transaxel. This is to keep the shafts equal in length and minimize torque steer which is amplified on FWD cars by having unequal length shafts.

I've been told some of the AT cars do too, but I dunno... just havnt worked on enough different Accords.

where are you located? i'm in VA and found it at Woodfin Auto Salvage (i think that's the name). they're in midloathian, VA. all they have is used honda parts.

 

Please do not buy from Woodfins, they are the worst. Try http://www.evanshondaspecialist.com

 

Are they the ones in Tennessee?

 

Yeah Evans is in TN and they rule. I've ordred with them and once they screwed up but they get it fixed right away.
Woodfins has screwed me and many others royally... plus they're expensive as ****.

 

PS the Accord int shaft has a female end and the Prelude int shaft has a male end. I think both are available from http://www.driveshaftshop.com for ~$100.

 

I was going to get calipers from them, but they are hella expensive. Instead I am getting them from Shan.

 

Thanks a lot for the info.

I'm going to check my some more local junkyards first, to see if I can find one.

I'm in MN, if that helps.
