Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about torque specifications

Q1

What type of drivetrain does the 1994-2001 Acura Integra use?

The 1994-2001 Acura Integra is equipped with a front-wheel-drive (FWD) system. The drivetrain includes a transversely mounted engine, a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission, and a final drive ratio of 4.40:1 for manual transmissions and 4.27:1 for automatic transmissions.

Q2

What is the torque specification for the drivetrain components?

The torque specification for the front axle nut is 181-217 lb-ft (245-294 Nm). The driveshaft-to-differential bolts should be torqued to 33-40 lb-ft (45-54 Nm). Always refer to the service manual for specific torque values for other drivetrain components.

Q3

How often should the drivetrain fluids be replaced?

The manual transmission fluid should be replaced every 30,000 miles (48,000 km) or as specified in the owner's manual. Use Honda MTF (Manual Transmission Fluid) or an equivalent. The differential fluid should also be replaced at the same interval, using Honda Hypoid Gear Oil or an equivalent.

Q4

What are the signs of a failing CV joint in the drivetrain?

Common signs of a failing CV joint include clicking or popping noises during turns, excessive vibration during acceleration, and grease splattered around the CV joint boot. If these symptoms are observed, the CV joint should be inspected and replaced if necessary to prevent drivetrain damage.

Q5

Can the drivetrain handle aftermarket performance upgrades?

The drivetrain of the 1994-2001 Acura Integra can handle moderate performance upgrades, such as a cold air intake or exhaust system. However, significant upgrades like turbocharging may require reinforced drivetrain components, such as a stronger clutch, upgraded axles, and a limited-slip differential to handle increased torque and power.
