Yeah, the half (intermediate) shaft bracket came loose. Somehow all 3 of the 14mm bolts popped out.

The axle is probably fine, the tranny end of the half shaft might be chewed up though.

You can get the bolts from any B-series engine, a B18A1 or B18B1 would probably be the easiest to find.

I would drain and refill the tranny. When was the last time it got done anyway?

I use the tube and funnel method to fill it throught the 17mm bolt in the upper right of the pic below but...

...here is how B18C5-EH2 does it,

Here's where the trick comes in that will save you headahces. Usually you have to ghetto-rig a funnel and tube to fill the tranny in the fill hole which really sucks. My method is really easy.

1. Remove the vent cap found near the front/top of your tranny:



2. Find the Speed sensor located on the topside of the very back of your tranny:



3. Take the 10mm on a big-*** extension and remove the bolt (it's the orangish one in my pic - yours probably won't be oragnish):





4. Now see that big-*** hole left after you move the speed sensor out of the way? Use the funnel and fill through that hole! By the way, no need to unplug the speed sensor - just move it out of the way.





5. Fill up with specified amount or until fluid dribbles from the fill hole below.



6. Put the speed sensor back in, tighten up the fill plug (if you loosened it).

7. Replace the vent cap and you're done!



Now put your wheel back on, torque the lugs to spec with a torque wrench and take your car for a test drive!

I believe its 1.9QT just like the D series.
And filling it from the Speed sensor hole is way easier. Thats what I do.

Can't be repalced, they are cast into the block. Doubt it's worth trying to fix.

There is a company in Jersy that sells them. Don't know if they are legit or not.
