1. your english here is poor and this makes it hard for me to understand your issue clearly, can you retype this in a more coherent and clear manner?
2. have you looked to see whats wrong at all yet? looked under the car for leaking fluid, checked for low trans fluid, axles out of place, etc? -------------------- |

1. yes, of course i checked the transmisssion fluid, did a visual overlook of the axles.etc...
2., my english is fine, i just have the habit of pushing enter where i would normally pause in a conversation but to be honest, i didnt think my english would effect the performance of the car, guess that was just my mistake so while im dotting my "I"'s and crossing my "T"'s wanna give another suggestion? when it first happened it was just during a test run, wand it had no fluid in it ten seconds later i had put the fluid in (ok, maybe more than ten seconds, those bottles pour slow) and the same problem still existed This post has been edited by grasby: Feb 19, 2009 - 8:55 AM |

i know that if one of the axles isn't properly inserted into the transmission, the car will not pull at all.
try jacking up the car and turn one of the wheels, if the opposite wheel doesn't turn then it's probably not installed right. -------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

i
think you should try getting a bigger pry bar between the inner axle joint and the transmission casing but be careful that you don't crack the case you need to compare the stub shaft that splines into the transmission between the two axles to make sure that they're identical are you checking your fluid level correctly ? -------------------- |

You could try having someone use a pry bar from the top while you use a pry bar from the bottom at the same time.

yea, me and my dad fooled with it for an hour or two
with prybars and flatheads it feels loose, like its just about to come out but like somehting is catching and stopping it might be the little ring on the end like inside the transmission bitter, im glad your typing more like me now just remember its not after every word only every couple dont worry, not much longer and you will have it down perfect and i have been typing like this in forums since well since i have found any forum or postin website that interested me, so im not gonna change it up now i type my way, you type yours we both have pretty sweet cars, that why were all here haha bacc to the subject though. to be honest, im tired of working on my car (never thought id say that) my clutch went out like two weeks ago, and i have been working on it nonstop ever since almost ready to sell it, but luccily i have put down the rathcet, and an actual mechanic is going to fix up my car for me so hopefully he will have more lucc than i do haha This post has been edited by grasby: Feb 21, 2009 - 11:59 AM |

if the axle gets cocked coming out then the snapring will bind and it'll be very hard to pop out. its best to get it up on a lift, but even then it can be hard. i've had to drop transmissions with the axle in because we could not get leverage on them to get the axle out with the trans in the car. usually one good hard pop with a pry bar gets it.
