need help

[kooshpa]

i need to put new axles in my car but not sure what ones to order..its a 96 civic dx with a ls swap.. so should i get ls axles? or civic? the dude at autozone told me that both of them have differnt spines so im not sure what one to grab..and its my daily driver so i cant just rip one out no ride to the store to match it.. thanks for any help

youll want the axles that go with the tranny, so if its an ls tranny.....

[kooshpa]

im pretty sure..its a ys1 i dont know alot about swaps so i would think it is? but not positive

if you have a hydro tranny any axles from a B series will work of 2000 civic SI will work

its a hyrdo with a cable conversion? thats what i was told by a few people..im just starting to get into motor work so i could be wrong..i just dont want to tear it all off and be stuck.. so would i order the integra axels?

theres 2 ys1 trannys, da ls, and gsr, im assuming u have an ls tranny, but if u didnt do the swap, then who knows

[kooshpa]

i didnt do the swap it was already done..but i kno the motors not a gsr..is there anyway to tell on the tranny? the label is still on it.. im guessing that gsr axles wont work on a ls trans? i dont want to keep asking stupis questions but im just starting to get into motor work and just looking for some advice..thanks for all the help so far

its all good man, i just dealt with the same thing... try to do a search with the vin tag on it... if its a str8 ls and not an lsvtec i would assume the tranny is from the same setup, but again, u never know.

you think my best bet is to find a part num on the axels and match it

u got the axles out?

[kooshpa]

not yet. if i have to il pull them out and bring them to autozone...just didnt want to do that if i cant get them the same day

[wafhoopdc]

one way to tell the difference between the ls and gsr trannys is to drive the car in fifth gear at 60 mph and see what the rpms are

i worked at autozone before and delt with so many guys coming in with cable and hydro trannys, the pass side is exactly the same, the only thing thats different is the driver side. so get any B Series Axle if it the pass side.
