im doing a first gen b16a swap into an 89 hatch, with all the debate over the correct axles to use, and i refuse to buy a custom set, plus cant afford them, i came across this information and need some light shed over if it correct or not. I was told that if you have a y1 tranny and an sk7 intermediate shaft to use 90 teg axles on both sides, and if you have an sh3 intermediate shaft to use a 89 teg axle on the driver side, and a 90 teg axle on the passenger side. is this true? and how do you identify which intermediate shaft you have. also does the y1 tranny use a cable driven speedo or a electric one? sorry for all the ? but im ass deep in this swap and it is my dd.

RE: Your sig...

Yeah, it'll blow - trust me. ;)

And when it does, you'll end up with a rod through the block, the valves playing "Taps" and a timing belt wrapped firmly around the neck of anything within 5 feet when it happens.

Here are your the two styles of half shaft that I have used. I apologize, as I cannot offer any type of number of any one style.

The bottom half shaft is typical of those found on cable transmissions, or 90-93 Integra's. If that's the case, just use 90/93 axles, and remove the dust ring on the inner side of the hub. That simply pops out with a flat screwdriver

If you have the top style, that is typical of a hydraulic transmission half shaft. If this is the case, I always use the 90/93 teg passenger side, then a 94 and up axle for the driver side. This setup still requires the dust ring to be removed.


Hope that offers some help.
