okay took my new B18 swap out for a spin.
tried to open it up and nothing happened.
maybe made it 10 yards from my house.
put it in gear and revved it and nothing.

my passenger side driveshaft pooped out
i have the right integra axles, what would cause this?
are my whee bearing nuts not on tight enough?

I would re-check that the axles are in completely.

Also were you able to drive it for a little while before that happened? On my swap that kinda happened which turned out to be something with the connection between the shifter rod and connecting to the transmission, I was able to rev it but it wouldn't go anywhere (if that makes any sense).

yeah thats what was happening to me!!
i thought my linkage came apart.
put it in first and it just revved. took my foot off the clutch in first and it didnt stall just idled.
how did you fix it?

Unbolted the whole tranny and took it out, had it inspected, then put it back in. lol

Could probably just make sure that the shifter is securely connected to the tranny and check the connections underneath the boot in the front next to the radiator. I can take some pics tomorrow when it is light to give you an idea of what I am talking about.

It is really frustrating when that happens, I was at a stop light with some friends right after I did my swap and it happened. My bro and friend had to hop out and push the car out of traffic into a parking lot. I felt real cool. :D

the axel nut needs to be torqued down to like 100 + ft lbs
