will 94+ integra axles fit our DA’s? both b-series, but i am concerned about the spindle hub diameter.
NO!!! You’ll leak out fluid as the 94+ axles sit differently and thus not seating the seal properly…trust me I learned the hard way and 6 quarts of Honda MTF later I now know they don’t work 
oh man, that was close…thanks, guess there’s gonna be a passenger 94+ integra axle for sale…thanks vtec
tri, did you try using the newer axles in conjunction with the newer intermediate shaft? i think if you did this it would work, not 100% sure though.

When I did my swap, I swapped everything over, axles and halfshaft. There is an article somewhere about them. But if you line up the mounts together, the DA, and the DC ones, the half shaft on our DA ones sit further into the tranny whereas the DC one does not, or it could be vice versa. So what happens is on a DC tranny/axles, the passenger side axle sits in the casing further where our driver ones sit further in. Also, you can’t interchange DA axles with DC halfshafts and vice versa b/c the DA one is male and the axle is female…totally different bro. Kind of confusing, let me find the article, or email me and we’ll chat some more about it...tlmai@yahoo.com
hmmm yeah it kinda confuses me some. i’m thinking if the mounts for the int. shaft is diff for dc’s vs. da’s, then if you were to put a newer block in our car then the da int. shaft wouldn’t line up right anymore.
maybe it’s one of those things you have to go under your car & compare yourself to get a good idea? well but if you can find an article explaining this then that’d be great.
hey vtec,
lol, same EXACT thing happened to me except 6 quarts??? you have an auto? capacity on a stick is 2 quarts. anyway i thought i should say somthin cause i thought i tore my seal and spent a grip screwin around with it cause i thought i had the right axle. well not a grip,
peace,
cs
No, I bought 6 quarts. My tranny is manual. 2.2 for the tranny. First 2.2=thought it was a torn seal, changed seal and added another 2.2, kept leaking. Changed out axles and finally fixed another 2.2…I hate reusing even though I just put it in…lesson learned.

hey found this, it may help clarify what I am talking about…
IMO…it just doesn’t work or maybe I was missing a step or something, but it didn’t work for me. I figured it was because the way the axles are “offset” in the tranny casing and diff. In DC, the passenger axles sit further into the casing, and our doesn’t. Same goes for the Driver side. The driver’s doesn’t sit far into the casing where ours does…it’s best to takea look at the article and under the car…HTH
thanks for the link tri. from reading it, sounds like you’d be able to use the 94+ axles if you change the seal on the int. shaft.
just trying to keep as many possibilities open when and if i ever need stronger aftermarket axles. i think the 94+ stuff is easier to locate vs. axles for our cars.
Very true sir…hey you’re the light bluish silver DA in SF with the Schumachers right?
yeah that’s my car. how’d you know?
I know DP and the gang, I’m Duc’s(aka Duckman) brother…we al know each other Joe, RyanK etc etc etc…
oh ok then that makes sense
Hey I saw you posted on the thread about Nutserts, do you happen to have the tool, or did you do it some other way to crush the unthreaded portion of the insert
hey tri,
it’s my friend’s tool but it looked like this:
rivet tool
basically just a hand-held rivet gun.
the actual rivets look like these:

like i said before though, i don’t think using these would be a good idea for a seatbelt anchor. welding seems like a such more safer choice.
I am going to Nutsert it and weld it too…
cool take pics of the progress so we can see what goes into a auto-to-manual seatbelt swap.
will do!
BTW how much did the tool cost your friend?
