Sounds like the joints on the axle are killed ..or you clutch is totoally goooone! But , I havent seen that in awhile . Did you have the tranny off before the swap ?

Check clutch pressure, check slave cylinder, and check clutch components.

ok well i just pulled the axles off. and I was just told its a 91 trans. Heres what I found.

Pulled the axles off started the car and put it in first and had someone look at the splines that the axle slides into. And they MOVE, but the axles does not. So I measured from where the splines start in the tranny out to the seal and its 2inches. Then I measured the axle part from the end of the axle to the part where it should stop at when its all the way in and thats only 2inches. therefor the axle end isnt long enough. Now the guy im doing the swap for said that they were si axles, they should work in a bseries trans right?
