90 CRX-B18A1 Swap... Half Shaft Problem
First a little background info:
I got a 90 CRX given to me: bare shell, stripped, poor body work, wiring hacked, and just generally a mess. I purchased a 91 Integra LS wrecked in the rear with a b18a1. only problem was that it was an auto. wanting to convert to manual, i purchased a trans on ebay, long story short had a hole in the case. had a shop weld it up and had a transmission guy go through the tranny, everything looked good. I am attempting to use the fronts suspension/axles/brakes etc. off of the integra. I read that you have to use a halfshaft that matches the transmission. not thinking the ebay listing for my trans could be incorrect, I purchased a b18 M/T half shaft. i say this because i was told when trying to use a b16 halfshaft with a b18 transmission there are some lining up issues. While putting in the transmission, we had a difficult time getting the left side motor mount to line up. but finally after some adjusting, got everything to bolt up. I just finished cleaning up and painting all the Teg suspension, and got it all installed. went to install the half shaft, and it slides in without a problem, but where the plate on the end goes to bolt up, nothing lines up. in fact i cant even get the bracket to sit flush against the engine.   since then i have purchased 2 more half shafts to make sure it wasnt a b16/b18 issue, (one b16 and one b18) and neither of them work either any help or ideas? |

first of all, all i know is what ive read, i am not a honda expert, nor do i pretend to be one.
the reading that i have done has said that the I shaft has to match the transmission. when i looked up my transmission code, the only stamp i could find on the transmission was YSK1. when i looked that up online.... one site said it could be from a 92 gsr with lsd. after i read this i assumed that being a b17 transmission was the problem. fed up with the intermediate shaft dilemma, i modified one of the 3 shaft i had. i had to grind down the bracket so that #1 it would clear the block to finish its rotation to sit flat against the engine where it bolts up. #2 so that where the bolts went in it was flush and not at a goofy angle. this pic represents where i had to "trim" the bracket to make it fit. the darker the red color, the more i had to take off.  since then i have done some more reading just for my own knowledge and have come to realize a few things: #1 YSK1 was stamped onto all cable transmission housings, so im still not sure what kind of transmission i have #2 I'm not convinced that if you have a b18 trans you have to have a b18 shaft and the same for the b18 shaft. as near as i can tell they are identical except a 3 digit code on one of the sides. otherwise, the dimensions are nearly identical i'm not sure why none of the shafts i had didn't work  |
