Prelude is male and accord is female.

 

no ****??? Then why is the teg 90-91 drivers side a female?

 

I think he flipped it. The accord has a male drivers side, the prelude has a female drivers side.

 

The "half-shaft" bolts to the back of the motor and goes between the trans and axle.

90-93 Accord half-shafts are female as are the 90-93 Integra.
That means the Lh axle inner joint is male on the same cars too.

94-7 Accord and 93-7 Prelude half-shafts are male as are the 94-01 Integra.
That means the LH axle inner joint is female on the same cars too.

I am not sure if the 94-7 Accord half-shaft is the same as the 93-7 Prelude.

I hope this info helps.

 

they are diff.
not a new ?. i have used both, and found each answer on here.

 

The correct combination your going to want depends on the motor mount kit.

Here is what you can do:

Use the 90-93 Accord LX/EX midshaft (male-female)
Use 90-93 Acura Integra driver side axle
Use 90-93 Acura Integra passenger side axle with an ACCORD inner joint, without an ACCORD inner joint the axle wont clip in right and you can mess up your tranny it will just slide in and out when turning without the ACCORD inner joint

Last option is if the 90-93 Acura Integra Axles dont work or one side does other doesnt is to step it down to a 88-89 Acura Integra axle which is shorter then the 90-93. Now if you have ABS 88-89 wont have it but the 90-93 do have ABS option.
