Pls Help! Tranny Or Axel Gave Out!

[Dr.B&Mz.MelZ]

well i really don't know what gave out on me...first of all...my friend tried to burn out on first gear..then it burned out a lil bit...then i strated hearing some griding noise...so i freaked out..i checked every gear and it did that....
so i checked my passenger side...what i notice is that...my drive axel isn't spining...only the cup..the one that goes to the tranny...where the inner cb boot is at...that's the only thing that's spinning when i left it in gear.......so im thinking that my drive axel gave out on me..in the other hand...im also thinking it might be my tranny...so what u guys think...drive axels or tranny? and how can u tell if ur tranny gave out on you....well my car is a 90 ex sedan manual trans...but if it is my drive axels....would any accord or prelude 92-96 drive axel would fit? and does it have to be standard? some one pls help me here!...thanx...

Well, when i did my clutch-job i had kinda the same prob. when i went to go on a hard take off my axel popped out of the tranny cuz the c clips werent on them. That made a grinding noise, but it would only grind in gear. just a thought, hope it helps.

stick with axles that are made for ur car...u got an H im guessing?

[Dr.B&Mz.MelZ]

actually no H as of now...still looking for a tranny....but yeah i needa fix this soon..this is the only car i got right now...but yeah....does anyone know if a 92-96 Honda prelude single cam passenger side axel will fit...or do i just gotta stick to the axel that's ment for our cars...and since my car is manual...do i really have to use a manual drive axel....or can i also use an automatic drive axel..some one pls help me here!

[Dr.B&Mz.MelZ]

dayum..i've been searching and nothing has answered my question....
can we fit a 92-96 Honda prelude single cam drive axel....*manual*
or is there any interchangeable parts for a passenger side drive axel for my car...??..or do i really have to use the passenger side drive axel that's ment for my car?

There to big, and I think the accord ones are beefier anyway.

For passenger side Im almost positive you dont have a choice.

[cali-racer]

he's right, preludes are lil' too big

[bmxboi23]

if your planning on going to a junk yard to get some i wouldnt, you can get them off summitracing.com for about $50 -$70

dont get the automatic ones, you dont have an auto
and you want them w/abs (unless im mistaken and the ex's didnt get abs untill later)

[Dr.B&Mz.MelZ]

k...thanks for the info everyone..ohh yeah and for summit racing..i can't seem to find the drive axel's for my car....but....can i still rebuild my axel...
cause the only thing that spins is the cup that connects to the tranny....

[Lil' Whitie]

well if the cup spins that means u broke the joint in the axle. you could proably get one at advance auto for $60. rebuild kits won't work for u cuz u need a whole axle.

i had a cv pop put on me once the tranny spins and speedo moves but nothing all i had to do was shove the cv cup back in the tranny.

but one thing u can try to do to rule out ur tranny is jack up the car and leave it in gear and using ur hands manualy turn that cup to see if it turns. (if ur strong enough, the other tire should turn backwards) or u can turn the tire and see if the other tire turn too..

but it looks like ur getting a new cv joint.

hope that helps

[Dr.B&Mz.MelZ]

there we go...thanx for that answer dawg...but do u guyz know if the auto axel will fit....cause i checked out some of the auto stores here in all they have is the one for autos...i gotta special order the one for manual...and the auto ones look a lil bit smaller?

i wouldnt get the auto ones, if it was ok to use in your manual then they would just sell universal ones and not worry about specifing the tranny type.

X3... Auto tranny is wider than a manual, so the axle on the drivers side is slightly shorter and since we have an intermediate shaft our driver side axle is slightly shorter.

Correct me if im wrong, i have never worked on an auto 4th gen accord. Every other auto car i have worked on, including accords, have been that way compared to standard.

EDIT: i did some research to see if i could get evidence to support my statement and this is what i came up with from honda:

90 Ex: AUTO: R: 97725
L: 97729

MANUAL: R&L: 97725


93 Ex: AUTO: R: 97726 (97727)
L: 97732

MANUAL: R: 97726 (97727)
L: 97735 (97737)




In conclusion i would say get the axle for your specific car. I realize why my left axle lasted forever from honda and 4 autozone axles where bad on install.

I finally got the people at autozone to work with me and get the right axle and I found one at the store that had the all black with a white stipe (what my factory original looked like). Naturally it worked and has drove great since i installed it.
