........oh my god. the axle goes into the tranny. take some pictures cause im not really following what happened. if the axle broke and only half of it is in the tranny, i doubt anything is fucked up. but im not really following you

anxiously awaiting pix...
i have a feeling that if it broke it probly snapped at the ball joint area & the ohte rhalf is still in the tranny like normal.. it's hard to believe that the tranny side that snaps into place could have come out!

yea.. but that would have been something that was very noticable prior to it traveling far enough to yank the axle out!

it may of came out if it was not in all the way upon installation. when it goes in it has to make a click sound. if it didnt make the sound then it will fall out sooner or later driving down the road. i need to see some pix.
