i would say u have the wrong axle. they should pop out at all in less they break. so i would check. parts stores dont always have the right parts in the box its in. i know this from exp. so just doule check the axle.

I've never heard of an axle of the correct length just popping out. The way I look at it is if the axle is the correct length it can't pop out of the tranny as it won't be able to slide because of the hub. If it is to short I could see it popping out.

theres a clip on the end of the axle if that looks to be in good shape then it could be where it seats inside the tranny

I had the same problem with my GSR trans( EXACT SAME PROBLEM)

Its the Diff warn out and its doesnt hold the axle tight

pop your hood,
lean over the passenger side,
grab the CV thats in the tranny,
wiggle it, , Should be nice and tight

i agree with this.

also, like said earlier, if the length is correct, it should have no where to slip out, i jsut changed my axle 2 months ago, after removing the lower ball joint, the axle fell right out, new one slipped right in, its the the hub holding it from falling out it seems.

When you say the axles are for an Si, do you mean a '92-'95 Si or a '99-'00 Si?

does the axle "pop" when you push it into the trans? if not, you have the wrong axle. im using axles for a 94 teg in my civic and have/had no issues.

This might be a long shot, but if your using the correct axles, with good clips, then maybe you have an internal issue with the diff.

90-93 acura integra stock axels are a perfect fit for a b seiries in a 92-95 civic, given you dont have a half shaft
