you probably didn't get a 'jack shaft' because there is not a 'jack shaft' on a B18, or any other B-series motor, or any passenger vehicle on the road for that matter. A jackshaft is the device used to turn the wheels on a train locomotive...

Maybe you could be more specific as to what you are referring to so that we could better help you find what you're looking for.

you probably got the intermediate shaft (salvage yards do list them as jack shaft) from the 86-89 Integra D16A1, which is different from the 90-93 Integra B18 intermediate shaft - you need the intermediate shaft from 90-93 Integra - you could also use one from 94-00 Integra by using the 94-00 driver's side axle and changing the seal on the driver's side of the transmission where the intermediate shaft goes in
