why are you replacing the axle in the first place?

also, next time slow down and write coherent sentences. i had a hell of a time trying to decipher what the hell you were asking.

Considering we don't even know why you replaced the axle, we can't really answer that question.

Axles break. Boots tear. It happens.

So you haven't replaced the axle yet?

Just replace the thing. You've probably never done it before, and they do wear out on their own over time.

It isn't disastrous or anything, just replace it as soon as you can. Axles are fairly simple to replace.

A knocking noise when you shift and take off sounds more like a completely shot motor mount hitting itself. Visually inspect all of your mounts, especially the torque mounts.

big help about checking mounts, thank you so much. i had a private mechanic inspect the mounts, and turned out to be the rear motor mount that was completly off. i guess when the previouse owner did the engine swap he didnt put it on correctly so the enging was moving around everywere cause it was loose, luckly it didnt break. another question, "if there is an acura engine in the honda should it have diffrent motor mounts"???
