I got ahold of an LSD transmission that was mated with a JDM D15B7 (according to the shop thats selling it). Onyx told me that I should get an intermediate shaft to prevent breaking of the axels but neither of us were sure what intermediate shaft type to get.

Does anyone know? Jeff?

WRONG!!! That D15 tranny/engine (Civic VTi I believe) used regular sohc axles (one long, one short). The only d-series half shafts are the zc, and the d16a1, neither of which will fit into that tranny.

tourque will be a bitch on that long axle with that motor (with the turbo and ---- that is going in it) he will snap that long axle left and right. If i remember right the civic wagons have an imd. shaft if there AWD. No the tegs were NOT the only ones to have an IMD shaft

From what I remember is that it uses b-series axles and intermediate shaft.

b series axles will not fit into a D-series transmission.
But I just needed confirmation that it was off of a civic wagon I need it.

Chacko

how ever I am finding NO intermediate shafts for D-series from any used parts dealers. And the Honda dealership claims that the civic AWD uses only a long and short shaft as well.

Chacko

found it, there is an intermediate shaft for the 92 Civic Si hatch! with a d16z6.

If it's the LSD d15bvtec tranny then the b series axles should fit. The d15b lsd tanny's diff is a different size than the usual d series diffs and accepts the larger axles.

Yes its a D15B7 transmission from Japan with the factory LSD option. So it does take B-series axles? Can you verify this anywhere? I mean I don't have any b-series axles laying around to poke into it when I get it. But if its true it will be alot easier to find stronger axles for it
