Default Your opinion. Axel question.

So i ordered some stage II DSS axels, 92-95 civic with a b series swap. And the driver side fit right in perfect, but the passenger side doesn't fit in correctly, wiggles in the socket, and extends out to far. The tranny is a y21, and motor is a ls/vtec. any input will be greatly appreciated.

is the axle seated all the way in the tranny? sometimes you really have to give them hell to get em to pop in. You can allways check it side by side with a stock axle axle...

Side by side, the DSS is visually longer than the original. I'm wondering if a del sol vtec axle would fit in there? Anyone have one laying around so i could at least try to see if it would seat, then order the correct one?

I called DSS today, and he mentioned this "that's how our design is" meaning longer axle. I don't know. I'm going to try and fuck with it some more, and if not, ill send it back.
