ok i just put a transmission in my 1988 honda accord lx but the tranny is out of a 1984 honda accord lx. Will the axles from the 84 work for my 88 cause the 88 ones are to big? I need help asap

 

Welcome!
Nobody can help you here, this is just a welcome & introduction spot.
I'll move this to General Tech, and give it a DESCRIPTIVE title.
5-speed or automatic??? Don't make us GUESS.

 

its a 5 speed...i dont see why they wouldnt work but i figured i would leave it up to someone who would know.

 

so were you able to find anything out for me???????

 

Sorry, I figured when I moved it over here, someone who already knew the answer would chime in.

I looked at an on-line parts place, and the axle assemblies have completely different part numbers for those 2 years. It's not clear to me WHAT the difference actually is, so I don't know whether you need to use the 84 axles or what. Hopefully they're not different at BOTH ends.

 

alrights thanks for trying....if ya find anything else out please let me know.and thanks again....

 

Well I can't say that I ever tried to make a frankenstein axle; however if you remove one of the inners from each year you should be able to see if the inner joint from the 84 will swap onto the inner end of the 88 axle. They all used a 3 bearing roller system back then; and the roller bearings are mounted on 3 posts on a collar grip ringed onto the axle shaft.
Bear in mind that when you remove the CV boot retaining strap, there will be some nasty watery grease in there. it will puke out everywhere. lol
Clean it all up and then you can see about swapping the parts, roller bearings and or the entire roller bearing assy, IF the axle splines are the same pitch/diameter.
Of course add fresh CV grease to the monster if it does work and be sure to have that trans FULL with fresh 10w30 oil.

 

alright..thanks..ill try that and let ya know if it works but if it dont ill have to find someone that can tell me exactly wat will fit and what wont...maby ill get lucky and it will fit out of another same year honda...ill let ya know and thanks again.

 

i tryed the thing with the cv joints and the splines are completely different so i could really use some ideas....do you know anyone that could help with this project....let me know thanks

 

ok could any one tell me a site that i can find out the spline count on the 84 axles and the 88 axles....let me know..please
