so i just got my h22a in my 96 civic hatch using haportmotor mounts. however when i went to put the axles in they did line up stright and are bent at the boot coming out of the tranny, how do i get them to be stright i did not chang the ek subframe to the eg subframe should i do that. also would a h2b set up fix it. i do not know a hole lot about them and dont even know why you wound do it. i know of the h22a going in just fine.
plz help thank you for your time,
chris

 

Are you sure the mounts are the right mounts? and what axles do you have?

 

ya the mounts are right and the axles are the right to

 

well if they are right for the car then why would they be bent?

 

Seems to me mine had a slight angle to them and I don't think they were perfectly straight.
If the angle is severe you have something messed up. there's no need to change the subframe !!!! I used Hasport mounts and Gator axles in my 97. They fit perfect

 

the drivers side one is not to bad how ever when it comes to the pas side one lookes like a "s"

this is the pas side axle... if this helps...

 

That's not right as something is wrong. Is your intermediate axle mounted right ? I don't have an answer for that. Are you sure you have the right motor mounts ?

 

your motor is sitting too low. Are you sure you put the tranny mount on right? because that will happen if the tranny mount is either loose, or wrong. Since the tranny will hang down on one side.

 

this is the mount that i have for the tranny

this is the one for the drivers side

back mount and "L"

 

Why do those (2) black "L" brackets look different? In your pictures that bracket is not installed? Sit one on top of the other and see if all the holes line up. One looks higher than the other? I Don't believe I had to change that bracket and just used the stock civic one. The Passenger side mount / bracket was a Bitch to tighten up. You need all the bolts in place to really assess the situation.

 

they are the same, i have two because we thought that the one i had might be the one for an accord but it was the right one

 

if the car is lowered it may b to low. common issue with h22 swaps

 

ya the car is however we lifted the car back up and it did not fix it. it did not move the tranny at all do you know if i chang the subfram to the eg one and do thos mounts would it work?

 

I have a quick question, what fuel rail do you swap so its on the correct side?\
Weird about the axle, ive been watching this thread...

 

Changing the EK subframe to an EG won't make any difference. The mounts will fit the same. It looks like the axle in the picture is too long causing the inner boot to compress.
Do you have a JDM LSD transmission? Those rare transmissions are 1/2" wider on the passenger side than the USDM and JDM non-LSD transmissions and may need a shorter axle. Call Hasport and ask for me if I can help.

 

i have the Hydraulic Tranny not the lsd one.

 

how long are the axles supposed to be tho

 

For the non LSD trans the right axle should be aproximatly 22.75" end to end when removed from the car and fully compressed.
Sometimes for whatever reason some people's car needs a custom length axle. Before you take the axle out of the car, remove the axle nut and push back on the tip of the axle. You should be able to compress the axle so that the tip is more or less flush with the hub. It should not be in or out more than 3/8" of flush with the hub when pushed back.
Does that make sense?

 

how hard would it be to get a custom axle?

 

Hydro has nothing to do with LSD. LSD is limited slip differential. Hydro is the type of clutch/release system that the transmission uses.

 

that can be one huge pita........i went to advance auto and they brought out a book that had all of the axel lengths in it. may work for you

 

my friend ran a custom longer driver side axle for his eg w/ an h22a. He said it was because something was bent? (frame or something) but he replaced whatever was, and it is fine now. (well he is b series transmission now, but still?)

 

Start by checking the lenght when installed in the car using the method I described above. Then, if it's not right, you can measure the axle out of the car (end to end, compressed length) to determine if you have the correct axle or not. You can also use this information to determine what your car needs and we can go from there. If you have Hasport axles we might be able to exchange it for an axle that will work for your car.
Feel free to email me with any questions.
