So here is what i got. 99-01 Civic Si Tranny hooked to a b20z and a gsr head all in a 1994 Acura Integra LS W/ ABS. So anyways I bought GSR axles because someone told me they would last longer so why not but now every week or so the axle pops out the transmission on the passenger side. Then throws tranny fluid everywhere. Then I have to get underneath it and fix it but it keeps leaving me stranded. Also it feels like there is some up and down play when the axle is in the tranny. And its all the way in. I used a block of wood on the hub side and tapped it in and wasnt coming out when i put them in and its just all of a sudden out of nowhere they pop out. What the hell could be the problem. Do i just get LS axles or B16 axles or what. Help me out. Its the only car I have and cant just keep getting stranded. Thanks

 

i have no idea if this would cause the problem but the first thing that came to mind was the cir-clip on the end of the splines. is it on there?

 

i agree about the c-clip that is what actually holds the axle in.

 

Yeah the c-clip is on there. Someone told me the diff is going out but why would it stay in for awhile and then come out. Its pissing me off so bad. What to do!!!

 

its possible the diff is messed up... are the splines on the driveaxles chewed? or the splines on the diff chewed? if so it could just be that its a loose fit.

 

Are they OE axles ?

 

If the differential is moving up and down when the axle is in there, I'd say that your differential bearings are shot..

Besides, LS and GSR axles are the same thing for 94-01.

 

^^^^^^^^^^ but dont be mislead if you grab ahold of your CV joint on the axle, at the transmission and move it up and down it is normal so if you check for up and down movement make sure you see what is moving the joint does fit loosely in the diff and this is NORMAL but how loose is hard to explain, i know by feel from messing with and checking axle's.

as far as your problem, does it seem to be the proper length??? are they OE axle's?? if they are from auto crap or somewhere else take it back and try another hell if its new from the dealer tell them its junk and get another and try it, make sure your motor mounts arent really screwed and the engine is moving excessively

try another c-clip see if that works

has your car had any major front end damage where its possible the length from tranny to wheel could be off???? i know it's random but so is your problem

are the motor mounts proper for the setup??

as far as your set up and axle combo i dont see why there would be a problem i would think you could use any B series combo and use those axle's, well any late model combo's
