    Default CV axel/tanny problem

    Alright I just got my front Axels changed like 2 weeks ago cause the boots were all torn and all that crap. Well today my wonderful new passanger axel slipped out of my tranny so my car wouldnt move when I gave it any gas/let out the clutch. I was wondering if anyone knows if there is some sort of ring or part that the axel is supposed to snap into in the tranny or whats going on. I can slide the Axel back into the trans with my hand but it just seems to slide back out again after driving the car a little bit. Did the mechanics install the wrong axel on my car or is a peice missing in there somewhere to hold it together? Any help would be great cause I don't have enough money to get suckered into buying a new axel if im just missing one tiny peice... thanks

    it would help to know what kind of car you have. there should be a ring on the cv where it goes into the tranny BUT i think it's either the wrong axle (too short), the nut that is in the middle of the rotor is loose, and or MAYBE the rings not there, check if they left the spindle/control arm/etc loose also

    It was the wrong size, I think they gave me one for a Civic instead of my Accord.
