i hope to get help for my project (sorry about my name.) I have a 91 hatchback with a jdm b16a and i guess a y1 trans. 5 speed. i bought from a friend who bought it from his friend. we bought dont know what year, what car it came from. But the engine is stamped b16a and the tran stamp y1-###### anyways when i turn left or right the right front side of my car click or clunk. So i thought it was the driveshaft.(passenger side) I went to Checkers and redline to buy the driveshaft. but was alittle too long, 3/4 to an inch long. The drive shaft that I bought was for 93 integra. We also tried checking out the delsol and it was still too long. I thought a crx would help but, nope. When i tried install the axle anyways. The whole engine shifted to the driver side. Which the alteranator and the ac compressor were kissing the inner fender.

any help would be great

thanks

 

which side did you get the axle for? (from the teg. drivers or pass)

 

u should remove the problem axle and take it to the store to compare axles until you get the right one
if you have it they must still make it

 

93 integra passenger side.

 

i took the axle to checkers and rideline but they had to idea where it could be from.

 

go back and try an 88-89 integra. thats what im running on my LSV

 

does Hassport make a shorter driveshaft? or do you guys know who could make one?

 

thanks crx si-r i will try that.

 

just wondering what is your set up?

 

parts man called me and he said the 88-89 integra might fit. 1 inc short and that what i need. thanks bro. i'll keep you updated.

any suggestion about grind in reverse. it only happens sometimes. someone told me to adjust the cable and then if that doesnt work then it could be my syncros. any opinion?

 

well the reverse gear doesnt use synchros from what ive heard
my friend had that problem in a camaro and when he had his cluth replaced it went away

 

ok thanks. i rather change clutch than a trans.

 

thanks evereyone who helped me out. I changed my axle with a 89 integra. And it fit perfect.

Another question. I would like to replace my drum brake to disc. any idea? i heard i could use from a integra. But what year, model, would i need a new proportioning valve and other things. thanks guys im a newbie at this stuff and loving!hehe

 

here all info you need for swap http://hondacrx881.tripod.com/discbrakes.html

 

why did the whole engine shift...

reverse grind is normal operation. no syncroes the gear is just strait cut and slides into another strait cut gear but you should push the clutch down all the way and you could try readjustment of the cable if you are still unhappy

 

when i tried installing a 93 teg, the teg axle was an inc long. pushinf the engine to the driver side.

sorry dumb question. but when i looked at the cable on the trans i couldnt turn the rubber piece thats holding the cable. well i thought that was the adjustment. thanks for the input i can breath better knowing its not the trans.

 

sweet. love the diagram. thanks

 

it is has this big black nut that looks like they made it to turn with the fingers and its on a plastic threaded rod, sometimes these dont turn well break out the channel locks

 

you can use 93-2000 integra rear trailing arms for your disc brake conversion

 

my set up:
92-93 YS1
90 LS intermediat shaft
95 B18B1 w/95 B16A3 head
ACT stage 1 clutch w/11LB ACT flywheel
GReddy sp1
obd1 converted

thats about it power plant/drive train wise



glad to hear the axles worked for you. as far as the rear drums. i personally hate having to work with all the springs so i converted to LS rear disk brakes. also because it came off the parts car that i purchased for the first swap in my crx. but i have heard that HF rear set ups are lighter and actually work better than disk brakes mainly because of the drums having more surface area that makes contact to the drum itself. i think its somewhere along the lines of 80% comapred to disk brakes which might be somewhere along the lines of 30%? but those are just estimate numbers.

 

wrong. you can use 90-01 integra and 92+ civic's that came with rear disk

 

when i tried installina 93 teg, the axle was an 1in long.

i turned the cable adjustment 3 revolution but still grind a little, i still have to wait and see. i only did 2 reverse so far. how do i know when to change clutch? grind all gears?

 

the halfshaft was your problem all along. The Y1 comes with a funky length halfshaft. I switched mine out to a 90 integra one and used 90-91 axles

 

thanks for the input. i bought my car 3 weeks ago. I have no clue where the engine and trans came from. so does the owner before me. trial and error was a must. but lots of people here are very helpful and knowledgeable....... does a 89 to 91 teg are the same trans? looking thru some research i guess my engine is probably a 1st gen b16a. cause it uses the cable trans. and the letters on my valve cover indicates the DOHC is written bigger than vtec. assuming thats the right one. i only have a 160 h/p. i was hoping the 170.

 

89 and 90 integra's do not share the same transmission.
89 integra has a D16A1 motor dohc D-series setup
90 integra has a B18A1 motor dohc B-series set up
