I'm working on popping in the propeller shaft (driveshaft between trans and diff) but I just don't seem to have the right bolts and it's really starting to aggrivate me.

I see on the Honda site that my MY00 takes M8 bolts with a 1.25 pitch; in the rear, thats fine. But where it bolts to the trans I have trouble. The hole on the driveshaft is about right for the bolts and equal to the rear as far as diameter goes, but for whatever reason, the bolts on the trans for the shaft at M10s @ 1.25 pitch (I check this just now using a bolt). What gives? The trans is not out of the car, and is stamped '99.

Can someone please help me out here.

 

2000-2003 models use M8 bolts on both ends but
the tranny side use 8X60 Bolts 90182-S2A-000
the diff side use 8X65 Bolrs 90183-S2A-000


2004-2006 models use M10 bolts on both ends and
are the same part 10X62 Bolts 90182-S2A-A00

I dont see why the trans side is M10 unless you have a 04+ tranny

 

Lucky you! I would gladly have that problem.

 

That sounds like what you have. The 04 prop shaft bolt is a 10mm by 60mm with a 1.25 tp. Either that or the differential you're replacing is an 04 and they converted the tranny connection.

Or the companion flange was swapped to use a AP2 prop shaft with a AP1 trans, and AP2 diff.
