I just finished my swap today--well actually i tried to finish up by putting my drive shaft from 93 integ so i could fill up my tranny with some oil. Well the driver side did not want to go in all the way on accord 92 intermediate shaft side.

AM i using the wrong combo? I'm suspecting O'reilly gave me the wrong shaft.

I have 92 accord intermediate shaft
93 acura integra axles
HCP motor mounts

please help--

 

No, it should work just fine, what's the deal??

So you are almost done with the swap mike??

you hauled on that swap bro!

 

so your having a hard time getting the passenger side axle in? that side was a bitch for me too. had to pretty much beat it to get it in. make sure you have the right axle before you beat on it though.

 

putting it in was kinda of a pain in the ***, you just have to match the teeth and make them snap in.

takes a little manouvering (sp?) to get it in...

-- btw, mike I will send you the pictures of the swap when I get home tonight

 

I took the intermediate shaft off and tried to stick the driver side into it.
It seems like its stopping where the grooves end on the axle. My axle has the grooves on about 1 1/2 inches from the tip then just a smooth shaft--this is where i suspect it stops---theres no more beating I could do---does your axles grooves go all the way to the end just like the ones for wheel hub--?

Any other options I could do---like my prelude intermediate shaft and some other axle---what else could i use.

 

try taking out your mid shaft and the driver side axle and putting them together outside of the car.

I use the prelude midshaft with custom DSS axles.

you could also your 93 integra axle on the passenger side, and get a custom driver side axle from Raxles using the Prelude Mid Shaft.

 

it will work for sure i have that combo and i had a similar problem , just work with it and it WILL go for sure!!!!!and like poison said try to put them together outside of the car!!also make sure that the axle is right , flukes happen sometimes!!

 

my 90-93 teg axels went right in my 94 accord 1/2 shaft. make sure you have the right axels for the right side, i tried putting the passanger axel into the 1/2 shaft and that didnt work-LOL

 

i removed the half shaft a tried it dat way
still no good
think fawkin O'reilly gave me the wrong part again
just like thermostat--had to order twice
water pump once and alternator belt once
fawkin peepz
thanks for all your help guys
hope to start the featherweight beast tomorrow

special thanks to poison for giving me a 24 hour technical assistance

does any body have a checklist before i actually try to start it?
I mean i dont want to fry my motor or anything
nor my ecu

thanks everyone

 

i see your from nebraska, how close are you to omaha? i bought my car there about a month ago, some little town outside omaha called louisville not to far from there was a damn good strip club called shakers, LOL
as for starting the car make sure you have all fluids in, pump the gas a few times and let her rip!!!

 

no problem mike

make sure your fuel line connections are very tight and secure, your spark wires in the right order, as well as what Tim said, your fluids filled up.

then start her up. If you had any wiring problems your ECU will tell you that.

good luck bro

 

dats funny--I'm in omaha--who did you buy your car from?
Actually I'm not from here--I'm stationed here--military
I've been to shakers

mostly college gurls there--hehe dats funny

 

oh god shakers is fun i spent a good ammount of money there! i bought the car at a dealership in louisville like 15 miles outside of omaha
