ok, im putting a B16a2 into my 97 ex. the passenger side fits fine, but the driver side axle is about 2.5 inches too short..

are ls axles longer? i got axles from a 2000 civic SI, and i thought they would work. but apperantly not.. how do i check to see what kind of intermediate shaft i have?
 
I have the exact same problem with my b16a2 into my eg, it is okay to leave it how it is, but you need the integra connection shaft between the axel and the transmission its a bit longer... that will fill the gap, my car drives just fine no problems

i dont think so, i got a axle from a 95 gsr w/ abs, fits perfect. and i would not trust driving on my axle when its about to come out. as soon as you make a hard turn it would pop out...
 
i know the half shaft lengths are different for an integra and a Civic si.. that could be the problem

Well its not a big enough gap that the axel is going to pop out, my car is quick and I wont leave it permanently like that, just saying its okay its not causing problems but i will have an axel soon from an integra to fit that, Im not saying to leave it like that but your fine to drive if needed on that short axel, its only about an inch to half inch gap for my eg hatch and I have a b16a2
 
not being a dick but me and you have two toatally different situations, my axle was short almost 2 and a half inches.. and you told me is was fine for now. thats why i said no. now i see a half inch, but not 2 and half. and i know the shafts are different sizes. but i got it figured out, thanks anyways

What did you do? New axel or intershaft?
 
new axle, from a 95 GSR integra w/ abs brakes.. mine dont have abs, but if it does have abs i BELIVE ther like 1/4 of inch longer.. but i work at napa, so i have access for all this info..

Thats awesome, nice, ill go look for an integra shaft from my local checker or something... i dont want that gap in there either but its fine to drive for right now cause i dont have the money for the damn thing... sad but i havent been to work in 2 weeks cause cops are gay and pulled me over for having yellow headlights only to find out to my surprise my license was suspended... lone behold i got my license back and can now work and get money yay for cops with nothing to do but pull me over cause my lights are yellow...
