there is a c-clip on the part of the axel that is in the transmission. You have to wiggle and jerk it just right for it to pop out. had my transmission out on the floor, using two 4-foot crowbars to pry that s.o.b. outta there. good luck

I'm noob in cars, may I ask what happened? Or what caused your axel and transmission to go? Does it have anything to do with a bad CV joint?

I would say it has more to do with me wheel hopping the bejesus out of it and dropping the clutch all the time.

ive learned my lesson though.

sadly enough, the boot in one of the drive axle's is cracked, and the other is rusted. So im going to buy a new one.

*cough* 129.99 *cough*

i have to pick it up tomarrow at Autozone. Im depressed...frustrated...but mostly pissed that i was being stupid.

no, being stupid would have been you not learning a lesson . Mistakes happen for a reason, and I'm pretty sure most of the people here have had 'mistakes' like this before .....cough*neutraldropat6000rpms*cough hehe but that was in my old eclipse
