help me out! i have a 91 teg with a B16A. friday when i down shifted to 3rd it broke my c.v. axle so today i fixed it , i drove down the road and when i went to turn (from a stop) it did it again. its pulling the shaft out of the boot on the transmission side. i put an integra axle on the b16a , is that the problem, is it to short? is it just faulty products? HELP PLEASE!!!
ìs your cv joint being pulled apart or is it pulling the whole shaft out of the transmission? I’d have to look at my suspension and the half shafts and check but when i put my coil overs on i let the wheel just hang and it pulled the cv joint apart and i spent 4 hours learning how to put it back together so i could probably give you some help if i get enough information.
well, its not pulling it out of the tansmission its pulling the shaft out of the boot, on the transmission side. do you think that the axles for the integra are to short for the B16A? thanx

They shouldn’t be. The tranny you have is a straight bolt on, mean that it will go into your engine bay with out modifcation, but also that it will work with existing parts, such as your axels. The tranny is not any narrower or shorter that would need you to install longer axels. That is not the problem.
What is the problem? I don’t know…but if I had to guess, I would say take a look at your suspension near the wheel. Something may not be bolted down tight enough or something might be missing.
Think about it, when you turn to the right for example, the passenger side wheel is being pulled away from the center line of the car. It is gripping the road and at trying to cut the inside corner of the turn. The enertia of the car is trying to push the car in a striaght line, away from the curve the tire is trying to take. This actually pulls the tire away from the center line of the car.
Now if something is loose in the suspension, the tire is going to move farther away from the center line than it should. The axel is attached to the wheel hub by a big spindle nut, where as on the transmission side its only held in place by a snap ring. If one side of the axel is going to move, its going to be the side connected to the wheel, not to the tranny.
However, I can not tell you what is going on with your car, I can only give you an off the top of my head theory. Jack your car up and yank on your wheels and try to tell if the problemed side is moving more than the other. Hope it helps.

does it happen when you downshift to 3rd and get on it or when you downshift to engine brake? if it is when you engine brake check your rear motor mount. it could be loose or disconnected which would allow your engine to move too much. Just a possibility anyway.
the first time i downshifted and punched it the second time i was taking off from a stop sign and turning left. it keeps breaking on the drivers side. thanx for the help.
ok i figured it out… THE MOTOR MOUNT!!! i guess it snaped the bolts when i dropped it into third. Thanx for all the help everyone.
your welcome 
thanx and good job :)
Did you get it all fixed? Was it the rear mount? Did the bolt come out or did it just break? Just wondering…
it was the mount on the drivers side one came out and the other snaped off. half of it is still in there. but i got it fixed.
