ok so i've searched and have found answers but not the direct answer i'm looking for, so i hope you guys can give me it.

i'm doing a y8 swap in my rex and i need to know if i pick up a 90-91 si cable tranny will the y8 clutch/pressure plate/flywheel/and axles work with the 90-91 si tranny? i hope it does because i'm nearly cashed out on this swap lol.

thanks in advance for the help

 

yes i believe so.

 

not the axle's tho

 

what's the difference in the axles, and what kinda axles would i need?

 

88 91 crx axels dx or si. not Hf or STD.

 

ok. do you have an idea what the difference is between the crx axles and the y8?

 

 

so by reading that then i can use the y8 clutch/flywheel/pressure plate on the 90-91 si trans. but i guess i cant use the axles

 

correct get si axles. i was using a b7 flywheel with y8 clutch and pressure plate for a while on a d15b2. with a si tranny and si axles/

 

dammmmmit lol i cant afford axles =(. i guess i'll see if anyone wants to trade axles lol

 

That is INCORRECT information. you CAN use std axles, as it is the OUTER splines that are different, not the inner. i used my stock std axles on my 91 si trans when i swapped it into my 88 std hatch. had 0 axle problems, although the trans had a leaky alxe seal.

 

my stock (HF) axles are busted. the axles i was wondering about using are the ones off the y8 swap i have cause i wanna buy an si cable trans but im broke and cant afford si axles so i was asking if i could use the y8 ones with the si tranny.

BTW: i just put DA hubs on so i can use axle with bigger outter spline

 

OH. you have one of two choices. First, and probably the best choice, you'll have to install new steering knuckles from either a dx, ex, or si crx/civic, or a DA (90-93) integra.

i say this is the best way, because you have to do this either way if you go b series, so it helps you or perhaps a different owner down the road if you or them decide to go b series.

the other option would be to buy new or good used (just get new ones) hf axles.

yes, the y8 axles will fit in the si trans, but idk if they'll fit in your stock knuckles

 

thats what i meant i have a DA front setup i just needed to make sure the axles will fit the tranny.

 

oh. yeah they should. i don't think they really changed the axles that much. honda = interchangeability, so i've come to learn

 

lol from the bit of dicking around on here and a few honda addict buddies of mine i've come to the same conclusion.
