xxskitsxx Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 so i completed my transmission swap on my 2000 acura integra ls b18b1 automatic and the tranny would let me idle back and fourth in reverse and drive so i turned it off got a shower and went to get gas pulled off and blam! weird noises sounded like a blender but not so much as a grind more of a slip like the axle is slipping or something any help would be great i have no wheels now and i love my teggy i have not done anything since then besides turn her on and let her idle she idles fine even sometimes idles forward but once i give it even gas it makes crazy noises almost feels like its under my left foot which is weird because the tranny is on my right while i sit in the car somoene told me it could be my axle i dont know any help would be great.

Does it do it in all gears or just one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xeryon Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 First thought is you didn't get the axles installed properly and they are just barely making contact. As soon as you put any force on it the splines are coming apart and slipping. if it is your driver side shaft that is slipping the entire shaft would be resonating with the sound which would explain why it sounds like it's coming from under your feet. Check that first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmgogo Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 just tap em in with a nylon deadblow on the edge of the seal to get them to seat all the way. Hopefully you didnt eat all the slpines off the axle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xeryon Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 a visual inspection will tell if they are seated right as well. when looking at the point where the shaft and the transfer case meet the gap between the two components should not be more then an 1/8-1/4 spacing. they usually don't sit entirely flush, just very close. much less common: there is this screwy little snap ring spring on the middle of the splines that locks into a groove in the transfer case. if that was missing, damaged or out of place the shaft won't seat in either. It is not unheard of for it to come off during disassembly and be left inside the case and prevent the (new) shaft from being seated all the way. If you were reusing shafts from the same motor and you are positive the rings were still in place after disassembly then I wouldn't worry about this being the issue.

Xeryon Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 ^ this. I have no idea if you can buy the ring separately. Best place to ask would be the dealership. Couldn't be more then a few dollars for something that small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xxskitsxx Posted November 9, 2010 Author Share Posted November 9, 2010 what is a CVS set? im kinda a newb with this i know main parts like headers, exhaust, catty, distrib, intake manifold ect. unless you ment cv joint but i think they are fine the ridges are still intact on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xeryon Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 the term cvs, cv's, half shafts, axles are all kind of used interchangeably (albeit those are not all the correct terms) for your cv shaft assembly. let us know what they say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxskitsxx Posted November 10, 2010 Author Share Posted November 10, 2010 I actually dont know if i can even get the car to aamco this week even after i called them and set it up. im am currently fighting in court for the 7 tickets i got driving that bad girl but i should make it out fine.. ill post up when i have sent her in to aamco and what they "say" and compare it to what you all think if you could compare for me because i dont always trust the pros if you know what i mean you are all probably better help and thanks to all that helped.alot of thanks to Xeryon. illl will update this in a couple days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xxskitsxx Posted November 15, 2010 Author Share Posted November 15, 2010 I didnt get it to the tranny place yet dont have the money now just had to restore my Ls. i heard it could be my torque converter when i put the new tranny on i didnt really fasten the torque converter down to the tranny i just set it onto the engine spline and set the tranny into place someone told me i should have fastened it onto the new tranny till it clicked when i tryed it didnt seem like it clicked tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyAM Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 yeah, but the crapty thing is tho, is if you didnt attach the torque converter properly, chances are, its now fused to the trany, and youre gunna need a new trans & TC happened to my buddy anyways with his exploder, but that just might be a ford thing.

xxskitsxx Posted December 12, 2010 Author Share Posted December 12, 2010 So i finally sent the integra to an aamco transmission and they called me back saying that the speedometer was reading speeds while the car didn't move they said it is either my axles or my final gear ratio or something, they said they will call me in a day or 2 with what the real problem is ill post it on here when i find out.

xxskitsxx Posted December 15, 2010 Author Share Posted December 15, 2010 so i got the call back from aamco bad news the tranny is shot and needs to be rebuilt its going to cost damn near $2000 for the whole job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xeryon Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 "shot" isn't a diagnosis, it's a random guess. ask them tell you whats wrong specifically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxskitsxx Posted April 14, 2011 Author Share Posted April 14, 2011 I got the car back from aamco and the tranny shifts fine but when first put into gear it has a little thump nothing to worry about they said but it doesnt seem to be a problem. I do have another problem now the front right control arm is messed up or something the car shakes when u start to speed up. i sent the car back and they replaced the main bushing for my front drivers side control arm it reduced the shakes a lot i'd say about 6x less shakiness but it still shakes i think i need the second bushing on that arm replaced since it cant be my right control arm considering the fact that i had it totally replaced last year. some people are saying my shocks/struts but i dont think they would make the car shake it just seems lie the front left wheel is shaky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxskitsxx Posted April 14, 2011 Author Share Posted April 14, 2011 "shot" isn't a diagnosis, it's a random guess. ask them tell you whats wrong specifically. they said the gears were bad and the shaft fork or something like that and they said i needed a new TC which i think i didnt since i had 2 of them and they both looked pretty good inside and out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxskitsxx Posted April 14, 2011 Author Share Posted April 14, 2011 i considered taking the Control arm off myself and taking it to a shop nearby to have them insert the bushing but im not so sure if doing it myself would be such a good idea since i dont the equipment to do an alignment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
