Hey. I bought this 91 civic 2 years ago, swapped an ls vtec into it, drove it 30,000 miles, it leaks a bunch of oil so I wanted a new engine. I got a jdm b16a from osaka motorsports, engine tranny ecu complete swap. I just finished performing the swap and took it for a short drive.
20 feet down the road I feel a strong vibration coming from the front wheels. seems like maybe in the drivetrain. probably in the driver side... ? . I have not gone any faster than 15mph because it gets SO bad. I can feel it at walking speed.
So let me explain the parts I am working with.
new axles
new wheel bearings
new tires
new clutch
resurfaced flywheel
ALL lugnuts torqued to 80 ft.lbs.
all suspension hardware is in place and tight
I removed the intermediate shaft to inspect bearing and found nothing wrong
This problem surfaced only after this swap, I had been driving it everywhere before and never had anything like this.
With the car in the air and the wheel removed, when turning the driver side axle by hand I can feel, on every rotation at about the same spot during rotation, a blop blop type thing.
Ive been chasing this problem every day for almost a week now, its really driving me up the wall. my only guess as to what the problem may be is something wrong with the differential in the tranny? its a y1 cable non-lsd by the way..
any help is amazing. thanks dudes
